Description: A range of resources related to the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) assessment tool.
What's the evidence base for this resource: The ProQOL is a widely used measure of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue. The training slides describe how the ProQOL conceptualises and measures these constructs. It is not a standardised psychological test.
Potential uses and limitations: Useful for organisations wanting to introduce ProQOL as a baseline measure to inform a broader organisational response. Note that the ProQOL does not measure Vicarious Trauma as a discreet construct, it measures Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue (in two sub-scales: Burnout and Work Related Traumatic Stress).
Note that ProQOL, and this material, is mostly focussed on individual level factors.
Where it comes from© Beth Hudnall Stamm, 2009. See slide 1 for conditions of use in training and professional development.
