COMPASSION SATISFACTION AND FATIGUE IN BANGLADESHI AMERICANS PROVIDING CARE TO AGING RELATIVES - Vol. 9 - S2

Bangladeshi American family caregivers of aging relatives were studied to clarify compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF). A cross-sectional survey of 12 participants used the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) Scale, measuring CS and two CF components: burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS). Participants reported moderate CS, STS, and BO levels. Pearson correlations showed strong positive associations between birth order and CS and between number of siblings and CS. No significant links were found between age, birth order, sibling number, and CF; the study highlights this under-researched population and suggests future work on family structure as a protective factor for CF.
