Abstract

Compassion fatigue is an emotional response characterized by a diminished capacity or interest in empathizing with others. This phenomenon often results from continuous exposure to traumatic narratives recounted by clients, leading to negative behavioral and emotional outcomes in counselors. Compassion fatigue can impair the ability to support others and hinder overall productivity. Counselors are particularly vulnerable to experiencing compassion fatigue. Given the increasing number of counselors, it is imperative to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of compassion fatigue. This study aims to delineate the features of compassion fatigue among 45 counselors at East & Central Java. The research employs a quantitative descriptive methodology. The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) was adapted for this study, encompassing three subscales that assess compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and burnout. This instrument represents an advanced iteration of the original compassion fatigue scale.
