Promotion of professional quality of life through reducing fears of compassion and compassion fatigue: Application of the Compassionate Mind Model to Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (Health Visiting) training.

Aims And Objectives: To identify whether a Compassionate Mind Model-based curriculum reduces students' perceived fears of compassion and improves their professional well-being.

Background: Enabling compassion is mandatory within nurse education but evidencing it is challenging. Research suggests that application of the Compassionate Mind Model might reduce students' fears of compassion and also decrease compassion fatigue.

Releasing latent compassion through an innovative compassion curriculum for Specialist Community Public Health Nurses.

Aims: To evaluate the impact of a curriculum based on the Compassionate Mind Model (CMM) designed to facilitate the expression of compassion in Specialist Community Public Health Nurses.

Background: The CMM identifies that fear of compassion creates a barrier to the flow of compassion. There is some evidence linking self-compassion to compassionate care but no previous research has explored this potential with postregistration specialist community public health nursing students.
