Abstract:
This pilot study aimed to explore the impact of a compassion-oriented training program on Personal Care Workers (PCWs) in a nursing home. A mixed-methods approach was used, including pre- and post-questionnaire surveys to measure changes in compassion, and in-depth interviews and daily diaries to explore PCWs' perceptions and experiences. A convenience sample of five female PCWs from a nursing home in Hong Kong participated in the study. The quantitative results showed that the PCWs experienced a decline in compassion after participating in the program. The qualitative data analysis identified three themes: (1) the multifaceted nature of compassion, (2) barriers and threats to compassion, and (3) transfer of skills at the workplace. Overall, These findings highlighted the complexity of implementing effective compassion training programs in nursing home, and emphasized the importance of recognizing the multifaceted nature of compassion and addressing barriers and threats to compassion in the workplace.
