While there is copious research regarding the troubling rates of teacher attrition within the United States, causes of attrition including stress and burnout, the impact of student trauma on teachers and how it can lead to compassion fatigue (also leading to attrition), as well as the negative impact of teacher turnover on student achievement, there is a paucity of research regarding interventions to treat and prevent the burnout and compassion fatigue that teachers and other school personnel are experiencing. This research completed pre-post-test experimental study on a self-care group ran by a local suburban school district in the Rochester, NY area. The group modeled their program off of the Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators book and accompanying workbook by Elena Aguilar (2018). The group met once per month for the entirety of the 2019-2020 school year, where participants were asked to read the chapter for the month and complete associated activities in advance. Each group session processed through what the book talked about for that month. This study analyzed the effects of the program both before and after the completion of the group, as well as compared trends from group participants to educators within the district who chose to not participate in the self-care group. The results showed that while there was nothing of statistical significance, the participant group showed trends of lessening burnout and stress and increasing compassion satisfaction by the end of the school year. Those who did not participate showed opposite trends. Given the significant disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study also looked at the impacts of the pandemic on stress, perceived job difficulty, and self-care. Results suggested that the participant group tended to spend more time working but felt less stress and took more time for self-care than the control group. Limitations of the study include lack of randomization, small sample size, lack of accountability for homework assignments, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
