Compassion Fatigue Coaching for Healthcare Workforce

Sue Cosgrove • Nov 28, 2022

Supporting the workforce to find their way back to Compassion Satisfaction

Deli ngaka ngindi – Welcome!


I am working with Aged care organisations and their teams to create awareness about Compassion Fatigue and coach these motivated and caring people through their experiences.


The goal for many working in health care is to work in a place of Compassion Satisfaction. Stamm (2010) states Compassion Satisfaction is about the pleasure you derive from doing your work well. For example, you may feel like it is a pleasure to help others through your work. You may feel positive about your colleagues, your ability to contribute to the work setting or even the greater good of society.  


When I am coaching the fatigued healthcare workforce towards compassion satisfaction in their work, I encourage and support them to experiment with self-care activities. I encourage them to reflect and check in to see how they can regain their balance. The balance is where they feel in control of their caregiving and care receiving from all the people in their lives.


It's a big check-in, and it's hard work. I notice that the fully engaged teams are making it different for themselves.


They are using the resource I have written for them to have fun and experiment and have conversations with each other about the self-care experiments they are doing. Having conversations with their leaders about what they want to be different (this is courage – which they have been reluctant to have before with their leaders).
