Welcome to the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) Scale Assessment—a crucial tool designed to measure the impact of your work on your emotional well-being. Whether you’re in a helping profession like healthcare, social work, or counseling, this assessment provides essential insights into the balance between compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

Why Take the ProQOL Assessment?

As a professional in a caregiving or service-oriented role, your emotional well-being is vital to your success and effectiveness. The ProQOL assessment helps you evaluate:

• Compassion Satisfaction: The pleasure and fulfillment you derive from helping others.

• Burnout: The feelings of exhaustion and disconnection that can arise from prolonged stress and workload.

• Secondary Traumatic Stress: The emotional toll of hearing about or witnessing the trauma others experience.

Taking this assessment can help you:

• Identify Early Warning Signs: Recognize symptoms of burnout or secondary traumatic stress before they become overwhelming.

• Reflect on Your Emotional Well-being: Gain insights into how your work affects your mental health, both positively and negatively.

• Take Proactive Steps: Learn strategies to maintain a healthy balance between your professional commitments and personal self-care.

How the Assessment Works

The ProQOL Scale Assessment consists of a series of questions designed to reflect on your emotional and mental health in your caregiving role.

• Simple and Direct: Answer statements based on your feelings and experiences in your profession.

• Personal Insights: Your responses will generate a score that reflects your current levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

Why ProQOL Matters

The ProQOL scale is used by professionals in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, social work, counseling, and education. It offers invaluable insights into the toll caregiving can take on emotional well-being and provides guidance for achieving a sustainable, fulfilling career while maintaining a healthy personal life.
