COMPASSION FATIGUE AND BURNOUT: A HERMENEUTIC PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY TO IDENTIFY, DIFFERENTIATE, PREVENT, AND MITIGATE THESE PHENOMENA WITHIN NAVAL CHAPLAINCY.

ebook
Compassion fatigue and burnout are conditions often camouflaged by altruistic intentions and/or perfectionism that negatively impact every caregiver. Absent a deep understanding of how these conditions are experienced, the Navy Chaplain Corps runs an unnecessary risk to its people. This study employed hermeneutic phenomenology to explore compassion fatigue and burnout within Naval Chaplaincy, and to bring to light, through vivid personal examples, the uniqueness of this phenomenon within this population of the clergy. Semi-structured interviews of twenty-five Navy Chaplains provided the data and Richard R. Osmer’s Four Tasks of Practical Theology offered the interpretive framework. With varying degrees of intensity, 100 percent of the study participants expressed experience with these conditions. This research identified fourteen categories of potential risk factors that contribute to or exacerbate this phenomenon: seven germane to all clergy and seven unique to Navy Chaplains.
