• Abstract: 共情疲劳是助人者在长期提供支持和帮助过程中因情感和精力过度消耗而产生的一种职业倦怠状态。本文系统分析了共情疲劳的个人、职业与社会影响因素，并探讨自我觉察对其识别的作用。通过生理、情绪与行为维度的觉察，助人者可及时应对共情疲劳。本文从个人、组织和社会三个层面提出了应对共情疲劳的策略，即设置情感界限、定期进行自我关怀、优化工作安排、提供培训与支持、完善社会保障体系和加强宣传教育等。这些策略旨在帮助助人者缓解共情疲劳，从而有效维护自身的心理健康和职业发展。
• Empathy fatigue is a state of burnout that occurs when people who help others become emotionally and energetically exhausted in the process of providing support and assistance over an extended period of time. This paper systematically analyzes the personal, professional, and social influences on empathy fatigue and explores the role of selfawareness in identifying it. By being aware of the physiological, emotional, and behavioral dimensions, people who help others can manage empathy fatigue in a timely manner. This paper proposes strategies for managing empathy fatigue at the personal, organizational, and societal levels, namely, setting emotional boundaries, regular self-care, optimizing work arrangements, providing training and support, improving the social safety net, and increasing outreach and education. These strategies aim to help helpers mitigate empathy fatigue in order to effectively maintain their own psychological health and professional development.
