The purpose of the article is to empirically determine the features of psychoprophylaxis and correction in overcoming the phenomena of compassion fatigue of volunteers in the context of post-traumatic growth.
Research methods. Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQoL) methods were used as psychodiagnostic methods in the empirical study of the phenomena of compassion fatigue to determine the stress resistance and professional quality of life of volunteers during the war. Mathematical and statistical methods, regression analysis, stochastic dependence between the investigated characteristics in groups, methods of psychological survey and comparison (Pearson’s χ2, df, Δχ2, Δdf) were also used.
Research results. The internal moral conflict between the principles and challenges of reality, between universal human values and individual attitudes is attributed to the specifics of psychoprophylaxis and correction for overcoming the phenomena of compassion fatigue. Among the principles of psychohygiene and psychoprophylaxis of compassion fatigue phenomena of volunteers are such principles as the principle of complexity, the principle of systematicity, the principle of psychic development, and orientation to personal resources.
Conlusions. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups of subjects according to the signs of compassion fatigue, among which we note the following indicators: a high level of depression, professional burnout, traumatic stress and a moderate level of satisfaction with compassion. When carrying out psychological prevention of compassion fatigue phenomena of volunteers, at different levels (preventive, stress, resistance, exhaustion), it is necessary to focus on individual human resources and highlight psychological, biological, spiritual and social components of personality as individual parameters of human resistance. Consequently, those volunteers who directly provide assistance to victims are more prone to professional exhaustion, fatigue, psychophysical disorders and cognitive disorders than other volunteers who provide psychological interventions indirectly.
