TOBON-RESTREPO, Luis Javier. Compassion Fatigue and Self-Care in Health Care Professionals. The Field of Caregiving and Personal Responsibility. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp.726-747. Epub 10-Jun-2022. ISSN 1657-8031. https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4792.
Vicarious trauma, secondary stress, and compassion fatigue are standardized concepts to describe the alterations suffered by caregivers when empathy is at stake in their daily work. This phenomenon is a specific form of burnout, which emerges from the dynamics that regulate the field of care and the patient-caregiver relationship. At all times, and, especially, in times of social and health crises, the professional should be aware of the importance of personal responsibility for self-care so that he can intervene in this relationship, by identifying the lack or presence of psychological resources, which favor compassion fatigue or compassion satisfaction, respectively.
