Abstract: Compassion fatigue is a pressing concern for healthcare professionals, impacting their well-being and the quality of service they deliver to service users. Mindfulness has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate compassion fatigue among healthcare professionals. This meta-analysis aims to investigate the correlation between mindfulness and compassion fatigue/compassion satisfaction and the effect of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) on compassion fatigue/compassion satisfaction.
