La mayoría de los trabajadores de servicios de salud y humanos que enfrentan los efectos de la fatiga por compasión generalmente recurren a hacer lo que siempre han hecho: trabajar más duro y dar más hasta que se agotan por completo. La fatiga por compasión no es solo un término “esponjoso” para referirse al agotamiento. Agota no solo tu mente y tu cuerpo, sino también la esencia misma de lo que eres como ser humano: tus emociones, tu alma. A menudo, tomando la forma de desdén por la fragilidad de la humanidad, este enemigo psicológico puede llevar a una persona, que en algún momento ingresó al campo de la atención médica por compasión, a alejarse cínica y hastiada. Ya sea que esté cuidando a un amigo o familiar con una enfermedad terminal o sea un profesional médico capacitado, la fatiga por compasión es uno de los adversarios más letales que puede enfrentar el personal de atención médica.

One of the things that binds all humans together is the experience of both joy and sorrow in life. This is especially evident when working in the healthcare and human services field. In our profession, it is important and essential to understand the process of grief not only for others, but ourselves. It’s not as easy to provide excellent care in the bad times as it is in the good; but since grief and loss are part of the human condition, we need to be prepared to support our clients and their loved ones in times of grief, and also be able to manage our own emotions as we deal with people who are enduring sadness and loss.
