- 소개/요약Background: Like their civilian counter parts, military clinicians are at risk of compassion fatigue. Both anecdotal evidence and data collection have demonstrated that healthcare team members inability to self-identify, manage and recover from compassion fatigue can lead to personal emotional and physical distress which can eventually manifest into negative patient outcomes. Studies have shown a relationship between mindfulness interventions and reduction of compassion fatigue and its components of burnout and secondary traumatic stress among clinicians. Aim: This implementation and evaluation project was two-folded. 1: To assess the benefit of the use of the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) instrument, to help military clinicians self-identify risk of compassion fatigue. 2: To determine if the use of an abbreviated mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program involving a mobile application and integrated web-based tools would help decrease symptoms of compassion fatigue among a targeted military clinician population. Method: A pilot project using a 4-week MBSR program via a mobile application called Insight Timer, based on an abbreviated version of the 8-week MBSR program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn was completed with a select group of military clinicians. Results: Four nurse practitioners completed the project. Post intervention, 75% of the participants showed improvement in two subscales of the ProQOL tool that assessed burnout and stress levels and all participants showed improvements in their mindfulness attention as measured by the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Conclusion: Military clinicians must build both internal and external resiliency to mitigate symptoms of compassion fatigue. Mindfulness may be one of the ways in which they accomplish this mission._x000D_
