Abstract
The large number of traumatic problems in adolescents and the shortage of school counsellors cause school counsellors to have a heavier workload. Compassion fatigue occurs when a counsellor is unable to consistently demonstrate empathy, compassion and care to clients. This is due to the fact that constant contact with clients undergoing intense emotional experiences is very draining on the counsellor's physical and emotional reserves. This study aims to identify and describe compassion fatigue in school counsellors in Indonesia. A systematic research approach was required for this methodology to be successful. We used an online survey to collect data. To analyse it, we used the RASCH model to categorise the level of compassion fatigue in school counsellors. There are two indicators: job burnout and secondary trauma. The 13 items in the tool were used to measure the severity of compassion fatigue in counsellors. The study involved 69 school counsellors who were all actively involved in providing counselling services in junior high schools in Indonesia. The findings obtained from this study revealed that school counsellors in public junior secondary schools in Indonesia experience compassion fatigue at a moderate level.
