“…Compassion should, in theory, be a core part of HCP treatment of PwMS. However, high levels of compassion fatigue and burnout are reported in key specialties caring routinely for PwMS, including Neurology [ 70 ], Rehabilitation Medicine [ 26 ], and Primary Care [ 27 ], a scenario likely to have been accentuated greatly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Known drivers of compassion fatigue and burnout (time constraints, inadequate staffing, excessive workload, care fragmentation, use of technology, lack of resources, organizational culture) [ 71 ] have also been identified as common barriers to the delivery of compassionate care [ 11 ].…”

“…When patients perceive their HCP to be more empathic and compassionate, they report improved outcomes for stress, anxiety, depression, and pain [24]. Of concern, those medical specialists who routinely care for PwMS i.e., Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Primary Care providers are reported to have high levels of compassion fatigue [25] and burnout [26,27]. which can lower empathic concern and compassionate responding through increased stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization [28] Both mindfulness-and compassion-based interventions can effectively reduce burnout and improve compassionate care in HCPs [29,30].…”

Objective Compassion is widely regarded as an important component of high-quality healthcare. However, its conceptualization, use, and associated outcomes in the care of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) have not been synthesized. The aim of this review is to scope the peer reviewed academic literature on the conceptualization, use, and outcomes associated with compassion in the care of PwMS. Methods Studies were eligible for inclusion if reporting primary research data from quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies on the conceptualization, use, and outcomes associated with compassion in the care of PwMS. Relevant studies were identified through searching five electronic databases (CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO) in January 2022. We followed the guidance outlined in the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) manual for evidence synthesis, and also referred to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist (PRISMA-ScR). Simple descriptive methods were used to chart quantitative findings, and a descriptive approach with basic content analysis was employed to describe qualitative findings. Results Fifteen studies were included (participant n = 1722): eight quantitative, six mixed-methods, one exclusively qualitative. Synthesized qualitative data revealed that PwMS conceptualize compassion as involving self-kindness, agency, and acceptance. PwMS report using self-compassion in response to unpleasant sensations and experiences. Quantitative findings suggest that compassion may mediate benefit finding, reduced distress, and improved quality of life (QoL) in PwMS, that those with the condition may become more compassionate through time, and that self-compassion specifically can be increased through training in mindfulness. In this context, greater self-compassion in PwMS correlates with less depression and fatigue, better resilience and QoL. Among studies, self-compassion was the most common outcome measure for PwMS. Conclusions A nascent literature exists on the conceptualization, use, and outcomes associated with compassion in the care of PwMS. Further research is required to better understand what compassion means to PwMS and those caring for them. However, self-compassion can be cultivated among PwMS and may be helpful for managing unpleasant somatic symptoms and in benefit finding. Impact on other health outcomes is less clear. The use of compassion by health care providers in the care of PwMS is unstudied.

“…Although it can occur in any person, physicians are a particularly vulnerable group, with a significant difference in prevalence among physicians compared to the general population (37.9% vs. 27.8%) 3 . Among neurologists, up to 60.1% suffer from BS, the second highest prevalence of BS (71.93%) when compared to residents from other specialties; this notably exceeded the already high average general prevalence of 51% 4 .…”
