Mary Jane Jose

 

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship and predictors of compassion fatigue and burnout among the Filipino school counselor. A total of 306 school counselors from Metro Manila and selected provinces from Luzon participated in this study. Variables such as gender, type of school, academic work settings, and years of counseling experience were used as compassion fatigue and burnout predictors. ProQOL 5 was also used to measure the counselors' level of compassion fatigue and burnout. Results show that years of counseling experience have a significant relationship with counselors’ compassion fatigue and burnout.
