Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of structured daily well-being practices on the mental health of veterinary workers, focusing on compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, amidst their challenging work environment.
- It involved a randomized control trial over six months, where one group of veterinary workers practiced daily well-being techniques while a control group did not, measuring their outcomes through the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) assessment.
- Results indicated that the group incorporating well-being practices showed a significant increase in compassion satisfaction after six months, although no substantial differences were observed in burnout or secondary traumatic stress scores between the two groups.
