Abstract:
This research focuses on the level of Compassion Satisfaction, Professional Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress of Primary and Secondary Education Teachers. The significance of the study lies in addressing the negative impact of burnout on teachers' well-being and educational performance. The findings reveal relatively high levels of Compassion Satisfaction, while displaying lower levels of Professional Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress. The study proposes solutions, including improved training, increased support, and better working conditions, with potential contributions to policy development. The research aligns with existing literature, utilizing the Professional Quality of Life (ProQoL) questionnaire by Stamm (2009) [23], also translated into Greek. Despite limitations, such as reliance on self-reported data, the research provides valuable insights and sets the stage for further exploration into teacher well-being and burnout.
