Abstract

The present study, the investigator aims to compassion fatigue of teachers while handling students with disruptive behaviours in inclusive classroom. One Hundred and Fifty teachers handling students with disruptive behaviours in inclusive setup from Sivaganga District in Tamil Nadu were chosen as sample, by using purposive sampling technique and administered with a compassion fatigue Rating Scale. The results of the research questions tested revealed that teachers were signicantly more likely to have high and moderate risk of compassion fatigue, while teachers handling students with disruptive behaviours. Male teachers experience higher level of compassion fatigue than the female teachers. This result shows that the female teachers are experiencing less compassion fatigue than male teachers and it may be due to their nature of patience, tolerance and societal & cultural background. This study revealed the need for compassion fatigue reduction training programme for the teachers handling students with disruptive behaviour. Educational Bodies like NCERT, SCERT, DIET should design in service and pre service training programme for teachers to overcome their depression and compassion fatigue while handling disruptive behaviours. Training to male counterparts to strength their emotional stability is also to be designed to combat the compassion fatigue arising out of their nature.
