However, the high levels of compassion and empathy also align with increased risk for compassion fatigue \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/ProfessionalDevelopment\/PeerAndWellness\/Pages\/compassion-fatigue.aspx\">defined<\/a> by the AVMA as \u201cthe result of a medical caregiver\u2019s unique relationship with a patient, through which empathy allows the caregiver to \u2018take on the burden\u2019 of the ill or dying patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We asked our Facebook audience to vote \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d to this <a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/todaysveterinarypractice\/posts\/2172701316111253?__tn__=-R\">question<\/a>: \u201cHas compassion fatigue ever made you consider leaving the profession?\u201d Almost three-quarters \u2014 or 71% \u2014answered \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a loaded question considering all the aspects of the veterinary profession that can be a drag on a veterinarian\u2019s emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. These include an intense, prolonged educational track, student loan debt, competition for employment, and a job with initial low pay and long hours. With so many factors contributing to a veterinarian\u2019s compassion fatigue and burnout, including concerns over the lives and wellbeing of their patients, veterinarians suffer a great deal from the negative impacts caused by these two traumas. To consider leaving the profession means the lows can really affect the veterinarian as much as the highs.<\/p>\n<p>The AVMA states \u201cthis insidious disorder can cause problems both psychological and physical.\u201d Common symptoms of compassion fatigue can include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Bottled-up emotions<br \/>\n\u2022 Sadness and apathy<br \/>\n\u2022 Inability to get pleasure from activities that previously were enjoyable<br \/>\n\u2022 Isolation<br \/>\n\u2022 Difficulty concentrating<br \/>\n\u2022 Feeling mentally and physically tired<br \/>\n\u2022 Chronic physical ailments<br \/>\n\u2022 Voicing excessive complaints about your job, your manager(s) and\/or co-workers<br \/>\n\u2022 Lack of self-care, including poor hygiene and a drop-off in your appearance<br \/>\n\u2022 Recurring nightmares or flashbacks<br \/>\n\u2022 Substance abuse or other compulsive behaviors such as over-eating or gambling\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most veterinarians get so caught up in caring for others \u2014 clients, patients, and staff \u2014 that they forget to take care of themselves. Self-care is vital in everyday life and in combatting compassion fatigue. Through caring for yourself, you will also be positively impacting your practice and patients.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips for personal approaches to can help alleviate compassion fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Get adequate sleep<br \/>\n\u2022 Practice good nutrition<br \/>\n\u2022 Get regular physical activity<br \/>\n\u2022 Take alone time<br \/>\n\u2022 Engage in meditation or mindfulness-based stress reduction<br \/>\n\u2022 Engage with co-workers to share successes and misfortunes alike<br \/>\n\u2022 Build and use a support network outside of your practice<br \/>\n\u2022 Maintain a balance between work-life and home-life and over-caring and under-caring<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supplied from a Facebook poll by our veterinarian audience, 71% of voters considered leaving the profession due to compassion fatigue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":17503,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":24,"footnotes":""},"categories":[342],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-exclusive","column-digital-exclusive","clinical_topics-news","clinical_topics-personal-wellbeing"],"acf":{"hide_sidebar":false,"hide_sidebar_ad":false,"hide_all_ads":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Has Compassion Fatigue Made You Consider Leaving the Profession?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Supplied from a Facebook poll, 71% of vets considered leaving the profession due to compassion fatigue.
