This is a great guide for how to intervene in the life of an addict. I am nervous to confront my friend but I know it is necessary and reading this has given me a bit more confidence for the intervention. One person found this helpful.
Very helpful book that Al Jameson has written for a very difficult situation! My daughter on drugs and this book really helped us learn about intervention and post rehab and recovery. Jameson is very experienced and knowledgeable on the subject. I had the pleasure of working with him as well.
This book was very helpful in helping me prepare ahead of time for my daughter's intervention with her addiction. However, it must be noted that, although workplace psychosocial stressors, such as job strain, have been linked to poor mental and physical health in a growing body of scientific evidence, the exploration of CF in such a relationship is a relatively newer concept. Therefore, future work is required to: Once established, the epidemiological and economic modelling approach used by LaMontagne et al. Furthermore, there has been minimal effort made to apply the aforementioned findings about health, allied health, and community service workers to reduce CF and its negative health, wellbeing and safety consequences.
Therefore, we recommend a systematic review be conducted to determine the prevalence of CF across occupation types to assist in identifying those most at risk, and, therefore, in most need of intervention. Finally, although it is difficult to make definitive conclusions due to the quality of the evidence in this review, the interventions that contain at least one element of resilience training appeared to have the most effect on CF. Therefore, we suggest researchers, employers and managers consider this when designing interventions to reduce CF in the future.
Compassion Fatigue among Healthcare, Emergency and Community Service Workers: A Systematic Review
To our knowledge, this is the first review to attempt to evaluate the evidence of the effectiveness of CF interventions in at-risk health, emergency and social care professions. Results revealed that, despite an awareness of the prevalence of CF in these at-risk workers, there is a lack of information and evidence about effective workplace based strategies to reduce CF in these occupational groups via modifying its recognised individual and organisational risk factors. Therefore, we recommend more research to determine how best to protect vulnerable workers in order to prevent CF, as well as the potentially more significant health and economic consequences related to the subsequent physical and mental health outcomes.

Abstract Compassion fatigue CF is stress resulting from exposure to a traumatized individual.
Introduction The compassion and empathy shown by healthcare, emergency and community service professionals can prove psychically, mentally and economically costly. Open in a separate window. Search Strategy The following search strategy was carried out using the major relevant database search engines i. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria The inclusion criteria dictated that the studies contained a quantitative evaluation of an intervention that reported outcomes on a standardized and validated measure for compassion fatigue. Data Extraction The variables extracted covered intervention descriptors, sample characteristics, implementation characteristics, quality of the research design use of control group, random allocation , and outcome indicators.
Significant decrease in CS for controls could suggest the absence of a coping resource i. Improved Impact of Event scores showing a statistically significant improvement in CF resilience. This present-oriented, skill-focused intervention, that incorporates self-maintenance techniques as is future-oriented through development of positive outlook and hope, affects all aspects of STS — BO, CF and CF. Hospital may benefit from incorporating mindfulness training to reduce stress among nursing staff.
Specific aspects of mindfulness may be associated with better control of the deleterious effects of work stress. Organizational prevention programs may help maximize caregivers level of CS and reduce the risks of developing CF. Positive changes in self-care attitudes, behaviours and interactions with colleagues and clients.
Outcome Measurements Ten Effect of Interventions to Prevent or Manage Compassion Fatigue The follow-up intervals ranged from three weeks [ 31 ], immediately post-intervention, to 6 months [ 35 ] after the baseline measurements. Discussion This systematic review identified the evidence on interventions designed to reduce CF in health, emergency and community service workers to determine the most effective workplace based strategies for reducing CF directly or via modifying its recognised individual and organisational risk factors.
Study Design and Methodological Quality Comparison between studies was difficult given the heterogeneity of the interventions themselves and the lower level of methodological quality for the majority of studies.
Effectiveness of CF Interventions The thirteen included studies in our search demonstrated mixed or no effects. Limitations While a thorough search strategy was designed to undertake this systematic review, limitations should be considered in the interpretation of results.
Compassion Fatigue among Healthcare, Emergency and Community Service Workers: A Systematic Review
Implications for Future Research This review indicates that there is some promising evidence emerging about interventions to reduce CF, in particular in nurses. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first review to attempt to evaluate the evidence of the effectiveness of CF interventions in at-risk health, emergency and social care professions. Acknowledgments The authors thank Tegan Daley-Driscoll for her assistance with conducting the searches and identifying potentially relevant papers.
Search Strategy Search parameters were created to identify studies that met the following criteria: Published in the past 25 years January —December Targeting a known risk factor or a protective factor for CF. Targeting employed individuals as the population of interest.
Major database search engines used: Unpublished work, opinion pieces, grey literature, editorials, qualitative researchJournals searched by hand: Journal of Traumatic Stress.
