The Science of Compassion is dedicated to helping clinicians and care providers feel a sense of achievement in their work; increase their sense of fulfilment; and be energised by their work.
This makes contributing to helping people who need care a sustainable process.
Modern researchers define compassion as having 4 components:
(Jinpa, 2012; Jazaieri et al., 2016)
• 1. Noticing another’s suffering (cognitive/attentional component)
• 2. Empathically feeling the other person’s pain (affective component)
• 3. Wishing or desiring to see relief of that suffering (intentional component)
• 4. Responding or acting to help ease or alleviate that suffering (motivational component)
Compassion Satisfaction is defined as:
• A positive sentiment the provider experiences when able to empathetically connect and feel a sense of achievement in the careproviding process.
• Increased sense of self-efficacy and fulfilment in helping work
• Invigorated in the work and energized further to contribute to helping people who need care.
