Study Design: Mixed methods included a survey and phenomenological interviews. Objectives: To investigate the re-entry process of health care providers, including physical therapists, after disaster relief work (DRW) in Haiti to predict who may be at risk for compassion fatigue (CF). Background: Physical therapists and other health care workers volunteered for disaster relief work (DRW) in Haiti; however, they were not prepared for the challenges of re-entry home. Methods and Measures: Participants (n=90) completed the Professional Quality of Life (.PROQOL) survey and 15 participants participated in phenomenological interviews. The PROQOL was used to assess the level of compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BOT), and secondary traumatic stress (STS), experienced by participants upon return home. Results and Conclusions: Burnout and STS were positively correlated and were considered components of CF. Burnout and STS were negatively correlated with compassion satisfaction. Struggles identified by participants during re-entry included: 1) Challenges (personal, family, and professional levels) and 2) Re-entry coping strategies. A prediction conceptual model for CF was developed. Conclusion(s): By understanding the experience of re-entry after serving in DRW, we can better anticipate the support needed for those who engage in this work. The importance of human resources, work environment, and personal support cannot be underestimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
