Compassion Fatigue Check

This is an educational self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnostic instrument. It is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological evaluation.

1.Do you feel overwhelmed by the suffering of those you care for?

2.Do you feel emotionally numb or disconnected from patients?

3.Do you have intrusive thoughts about traumatic patient cases?

4.Do you dread going to work?

5.Do you feel you have lost your sense of purpose in medicine?
