Rethinking Compassion Fatigue as Moral StressDonna Forster
?
The document discusses compassion fatigue experienced by health and social services professionals who provide services to marginalized individuals. It argues that compassion fatigue is more accurately understood as a form of moral stress. While compassion fatigue is typically viewed as secondary trauma from empathizing with clients' suffering, the document demonstrates it also has a moral component from making complex ethical judgments. Exposure to difficult "no-win" moral dilemmas over time can lead professionals to experience emotions like guilt, anger, and indifference. Understanding compassion fatigue as involving both emotional and ethical elements is important for addressing it, such as through moral awareness training and accepting some level of residual stress is inevitable.
