摘要

Counselors are professionals who provide guidance and psychological counseling services in places such as educational institutions and guidance and research centers. The main purpose of this cross-sectional quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between compassion fatigue (CF) and compassion satisfaction (CS) among Turkish counselors and the moderating role of self-compassion in this relationship. A sample of 367 counselors (mean age 36.56 years: 52% female) completed an online survey including measures. Pearson correlation and moderation analyses were conducted. CF and CS were significantly related to each other (r = − .77), while self-compassion and CF were highly negatively correlated (r = − .68). Furthermore, a significant positive relationship was found between self-compassion and CS (r = .70). The analysis revealed that self-compassion moderated the relationship between CF and CS. The present results suggest that self-compassion may act as a protective factor against the effects of CF. However, the cross-sectional design limits causal interpretations, and self-report measures may be subject to response biases. Future research should consider longitudinal designs and explore intervention strategies to enhance self-compassion among counselors.
