摘要
Stress is linked to negative outcomes in health professionals including burnout and reduced compassion. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns impacted the delivery of psychological services in Aotearoa New Zealand. Thus, psychologists had to adapt to a rapidly changing context alongside increased demand for their services. This study aimed to bridge the gap in existing literature by exploring compassion for others and burnout amongst the psychologist workforce in Aotearoa during the pandemic. In total, 195 psychologists completed the online survey. Findings revealed that burnout was present in 14% of our sample and compassion for others was high. In conclusion, although the pandemic resulted in a stressful time for health professionals, psychologists reported high compassion for others and low rates of burnout compared to healthcare professionals in other countries.
