The Relationship

In response to the coronavirus outbreak, people may experience anxiety, empathy, and prosocial willingness. However, the relationship between emotions, empathy, and prosocial behaviour is unknown. It is said that empathy is affected by moods and influences pro-sociality. Thus, how does an emergency change people’s empathy and prosocial willingness? We conducted a study with 1,190 participants before (N=520) and after (N=570) the coronavirus outbreak. We found that prosocial willingness decreased post-outbreak, maybe by the decreased empathy levels, in accordance with compassion fatigue theory. Trait empathy could affect prosocial willingness indirectly through the empathy level. News discriminability and distance from the outbreak epicentre played a role in the trait empathy change. Given how emergency health events influence emotion and the effects of personal traits on prosocial willingness, social media users and providers should understand the negative effects of information over-exposure on mental health during the outbreak.

The Relationship

Compassion fatigue is well documented among professionals working in social service fields such as healthcare, emergency response, social work, and education. In higher education, there is a growing demand for faculty led student mental health support and life coaching services to support student retention and success. Students in online settings tend to disclose personally traumatic experiences and circumstances more openly in communications with faculty to seek support and extensions. In this study, we surveyed faculty to explore the relationship between student self-disclosure and faculty compassion fatigue in online classrooms. We hypothesized that student self-disclosure of personal challenges is common and may be related to faculty compassion fatigue and burnout. Results supported the hypothesis that student self-disclosure of personal challenges and trauma was common, experienced by 96% of surveyed faculty. Most faculty had low to average compassion fatigue scores; however, demographic and professional factors were associated with faculty compassion fatigue and burnout. Younger faculty, less experienced faculty, and female faculty had higher levels of compassion fatigue and burnout than older faculty, more experienced faculty, and male faculty. This study provides insight into the personal challenges and trauma students self-disclose to faculty, faculty variables that are associated with disclosure, and the impact student disclosure may have on faculty.Keywords: online teaching, compassion fatigue, student support, self-disclosure, faculty training

The Relationship

Enforcing the law to maintain peace, justice, and order in the community involves the police first responder in situations that are traumatic and cause negative health outcomes. Police are tasked with maintaining peace and helping traumatized victims. Over time, the struggle to alleviate the victims' suffering may come with a cost. Compassion fatigue has multiple negative effects on police well-being and occupational performance. Compassion fatigue refers to the physical and mental fatigue and emotional withdrawal encountered by those who attend for sick or traumatized people over a lengthened period. In contrast, coping skills means investing one's own intentional effort to resolve personal and interpersonal difficulties in order to try to comprehend, reduce, or permit compassion fatigue. The paper describes the extent of compassion fatigue and coping skills of the PNP first responders in Bacolod city. Likewise, it explores the relationship between the Philippine National Police (PNP) first responder's demographics and their compassion fatigue and coping skills. Also, it determines the correlation between compassion fatigue and coping skills of PNP first responders.

The Relationship

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been established as an essential component in success, along with Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Emotional Intelligence is vital in making or maintaining Job Engagement (JE). Dealing with different emotions daily, nurses with low EI are prone to compassion fatigue and job disengagement. Job engagement is essential in ensuring that the quality of care rendered is high, and the patient’s safety is guaranteed. Emotional Intelligence plays a vital role in making sure that nurses have a sense of purpose and, in turn, making them more engaged in their daily duties and responsibilities. Hence, this paper describes the level of Emotional Intelligence and Job Engagement of Nurses in Level 1 District Hospitals in Negros Occidental. Likewise, it explores the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Job Engagement of nurses’ demographics and the factors that made them stay in the nursing service. Also, it determines the correlation of EI and JE of nurses; and whether EI affects the level of JE.
