Certified Nursing Assistants' Compassion at Work, Well-being and Turnover Intentions

Compassion is innate and fundamental to caregiving, and is associated with many known benefits. It is well-established that compassion experienced by patients and in organizational contexts (e.g., compassionate environments, organizational compassion practices) is beneficial. An opportunity exists to study direct caregivers, a population that is underexplored, and compassion at work the experience of both demonstrating and receiving compassion as a caregiver. This project suggests that experienced compassion at work could help solve healthcare worker burnout.
