  • 소개/요약This exploratory study examined the relationship between mindfulness, an evidence-based practice model, and the risk for compassion fatigue and potential for compassion satisfaction among master’s level social work student interns. MSW student interns (N = 111) completed the Professional Quality of Life Scale (Stamm, 2010) and the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer, Smith, Hopkins, Krietemeyer & Toney, 2006) to examine the effects of mindfulness as it relates to compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction. Data revealed that greater levels of mindfulness positively correlated with greater potential for compassion satisfaction (r = .46, p < .00) while lower levels of mindfulness increased a student’s risk for compassion fatigue (r = -.53, p < .00). Results suggest that mindfulness may be an important variable in mitigating compassion fatigue and increasing compassion satisfaction for helping professionals.
