Teachers\u2019 jobs involve more than just teaching the required curriculum. A significant part of their role includes providing\u00a0emotional support to their students<\/a><\/p>\n

And with many students facing mental health challenges and experiencing trauma, meeting these emotional needs has become increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0investigates compassion fatigue among Australian teachers. This condition \u2014 which involves a reduced ability to empathise with others \u2014 can develop when people face ongoing emotional and psychological strain.<\/p>\n

How is compassion fatigue impacting our teachers? And what can be done to address it?<\/p>\n

What is compassion fatigue?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Compassion fatigue is a term for the\u00a0physical, emotional and psychological impact<\/a>\u00a0of helping others who are under stress or experiencing trauma.<\/p>\n

While this condition is commonly associated with healthcare workers, first responders and psychologists, teachers are also at risk.<\/p>\n

Compassion fatigue\u00a0involves two related conditions<\/a>: burnout and secondary traumatic stress.<\/p>\n

Burnout is characterised by emotional exhaustion, de-personalisation and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment.<\/p>\n

Secondary traumatic stress mirrors symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It occurs when teachers hear about or witness their students\u2019 trauma and begin to experience symptoms like emotional numbing, intrusive thoughts or avoidance behaviours.<\/p>\n

What is happening in Australian schools?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Children with trauma and poor mental health make up a significant part of Australian classrooms.<\/p>\n

A 2023\u00a0Australian Bureau of Statistics study<\/a>\u00a0found 38.8% of 16-to-24-year-olds had experienced a mental disorder within the last 12 months, an increase on previous studies.<\/p>\n

That same year, a\u00a0Royal Children\u2019s Hospital Melbourne survey<\/a>\u00a0revealed one in three children between eight and 13 experienced symptoms of a mental health problem.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Australian Child Maltreatment Study<\/a>\u00a0also found 40% of young Australians aged 16\u201324 had experienced more than one type of abuse, such as physical violence or neglect. Other research shows\u00a0during 2019 and 2020<\/a>\u00a0about 3% of Australian children received child protection services.<\/p>\n

Managing outbursts and trauma<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This means teachers are regularly managing emotional and behavioural crises in classrooms. This might include student meltdowns, violent outbursts or other disruptive behaviours.<\/p>\n

Teachers are also exposed to their students\u2019 traumatic experiences while trying to provide support. Research shows these interactions\u00a0significantly contribute<\/a>\u00a0to stress and anxiety among educators.<\/p>\n

Australian\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0has highlighted how compassion fatigue, burnout and secondary traumatic stress are significant factors pushing teachers out of the profession.<\/p>\n

These issues don\u2019t just impact teachers they also affect students. When teachers are highly stressed, research shows students are more likely to\u00a0behave poorly<\/a>\u00a0in the classroom and record\u00a0lower academic performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My research<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In early 2023,\u00a0I surveyed 1,612 Australian teachers<\/a>\u00a0to understand how compassion fatigue affects their emotional wellbeing. I also conducted interviews with 57 teachers later in the year to gain deeper insights in a study, which is yet to be published.<\/p>\n

Teachers in my study worked across the country, though most were from Queensland primary schools. More than 93% of respondents were women.<\/p>\n

I found 73.9% of respondents had moderate-to-high levels of burnout when compared to the general population, while 71.5% were exhibiting signs of secondary traumatic stress. These results align with findings from other research. For example, a\u00a02024 study on Victorian teachers<\/a>\u00a0reported similar rates.<\/p>\n

While additional research is needed to fully understand the scope of this problem in different types of schools and different locations, these findings suggest compassion fatigue and related issues are affecting a significant proportion of Australian teachers.<\/p>\n

\u2018Extreme and very real\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Teachers who had compassion fatigue, spoke about how their emotional state was deeply influenced by the emotional needs and behaviours of their students. As one teacher told us:<\/p>\n

The students that I am caring for at the moment are a very hard cohort. My compassion fatigue is extreme and very real at the moment. I am exhausted.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another teacher noted how they could gauge how the day would go, based on the mood of their students.<\/p>\n

When they\u2019re struggling, I find it hard to keep my own emotions in check.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One teacher explained the difficulty of managing student behaviour while dealing with emotional exhaustion:<\/p>\n

When behaviour blows up, which it does several times a day, I just don\u2019t know if I have the energy to respond compassionately.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018It\u2019s frustrating\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Teachers described a tension between providing emotional support to students and needing to teach the required curriculum and meet administrative responsibilities.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s frustrating knowing what the students need emotionally, but the curriculum and administrative demands don\u2019t leave room for that kind of support.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This also reflects a broader issue for teachers \u2013 who increasingly note how the\u00a0pressure to constantly provide data<\/a>\u00a0about what they are doing limits their ability to focus on their students in general.<\/p>\n

Impossible to switch off<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Because of the intensity of the issues they encounter, teachers find it difficult to leave their work at work. As one interviewee told us:<\/p>\n

The emotional load from school often follows me home. I find it hard to stop thinking about my students, even when I\u2019m supposed to be relaxing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some teachers also feel like they should not be relaxing (out-of-hours) when their students need help.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to focus on self-care when I know my students are struggling. I feel guilty taking time for myself when I should be helping them.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What can we do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Supporting teachers who experience compassion fatigue requires a combination of three things.<\/p>\n

1. Trauma-informed training:<\/strong>\u00a0this can equip teachers with strategies to address trauma in their classrooms while also protecting their own mental health. Studies\u00a0have shown<\/a>\u00a0trauma-informed approaches can improve teacher resilience and reduce burnout.<\/p>\n

2. Mental health support:<\/strong>\u00a0teachers should have access to counselling services and peer networks where they can share their experiences and receive guidance. Programs like \u201creflective circles<\/a>\u201d, which offer structured opportunities to process emotional challenges have been shown to be particularly effective in reducing stress and improving wellbeing for teachers.<\/p>\n

3. Systemic changes:<\/strong>\u00a0schools can reduce workloads, offer better administrative support and recognise the emotional labour involved in teaching.\u00a0Research<\/a>\u00a0shows these changes help teachers manage their stress and enhance \u201ccompassion satisfaction\u201d. This is the opposite of compassion fatigue and is the rewarding feeling of making a difference in students\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n

Understanding the toll of compassion fatigue and supporting teachers\u2019 wellbeing ensures they can continue providing essential care and guidance to students.<\/p>\n
