“…Across the nine studies, both descriptive and exploratory study designs were used. Eight studies used a quantitative method (Eastwood & Ecklund, 2008; Kraus, 2005; La Mott & Martin, 2019; Lovasova & Raczova, 2017; Mavridis et al, 2019; Owens-King, 2019; Salloum et al, 2019; Xu et al, 2019); one used a mixed-method approach (Killian, 2008).…”

“…The majority of studies used nonprobability sampling. For example, La Mott and Martin (2019) and Salloum et al (2019) described reaching out to potential participants via email; other investigators simply said that participants were “recruited” and/or that participation was “voluntary.” Convenience sampling was used by Mavridis et al (2019), as they only worked with participants who took part in the Family Developmental Credential training program. Eastwood and Ecklund (2008) similarly asked for participant volunteers from a group of residential childcare workers prior to participating in an in-service training.…”

Mental health providers represent one of the highest risk groups in health care for compassion fatigue. As we work to understand how self-care can be adapted, used, and practiced effectively by counselors, psychologists, family therapists, and other like-minded healers, it is important that we improve the quality, complexity, and sophistication of the scholarship we conduct. This critical review examines 9 articles published between 2005 and 2019. Selection criteria included the following: (a) studies were empirical/peer-reviewed, (b) samples engaged were composed of mental health professionals, and (c) investigative foci targeted the relationship(s) between self-care and compassion fatigue. Analysis revealed a lack of cohesive theory, limited sample designs, inconsistent measurement, underpowered analyses, and disorganized results. Implications for supportive clinical and policy practices, alongside responsive calls for future scholars, are put forth in conclusion.

“…Research suggests that persons providing social-work services or in-home care feel empowered and prepared for the work but struggle with significant work-related stress and burnout (Dmytryshyn, Jack, Ballantyne, Wahoush, & MacMillan, 2015;Landsman, 2017;Mavridis, Harkness, Super, & Liu, 2019;West, Berlin, & Harden, 2018). Large caseloads, complex client needs, and low support from agency administration and supervisors contribute to burnout (Landsman, 2017;Mavridis, Harkness, Super, & Liu, 2019;Mena & Bailey, 2007).…”

“…Prior HV satisfaction research indicates current HVs feel satisfied, happy, and empowered in their work (Dmytryshyn et al, 2015;West, Berlin, & Harden, 2018). However, a persistent issue in the field centers around understanding workplace satisfaction and the connection to high rates of HV turnover (Landsman, 2017;Mavridis, Harkness, Super, & Liu, 2019;West, Berlin, & Harden, 2018). The National Home Visiting Career Trajectories (NHVCT) study was conducted to identify common characteristics of the MIECHV workforce and better understand preparation for entering the field, challenges associated with the work, and necessary professional development opportunities (Sandstrom et al, 2020).…”

There is wide recognition in early childhood fields that coaching is important to a professional's development and growth in general, but little is known about coaching home visiting professionals in particular. An early childhood home visiting professional works with families to encourage positive parent-child interactions, family goal setting, and family well-being and health. Determining the essential components of coaching home visitors will help advance this field. Because coaching in the home visiting field is emergent, this article draws on literature from the early childhood field with an emphasis on applications for home visiting. We gleaned six themes that may represent common features of coaching. This article presents a compilation of common themes identified in literature reviews on coaching professionals across the early childhood field that warrant further development and evaluation by home visiting practitioners and researchers regardless of the home visiting model. The discussion concludes with recommendations to stimulate research and practice on coaching home visitors.
