Abstract
Working as first responders requires officers to be in a state of full awareness of preparedness, thus allowing compassion fatigue to occur. Compassion fatigue is one of the psychological problems associated with exposure to stress secondary traumatic disorder and burnout. The study focuses on how and what compassion fatigue happen to first responders in dealing with natural disaster using scoping review. The study used scoping review with the Sciencedirect and ProQuest databases which of the 402 research articles used 3 articles that had been reviewed and analyzed using descriptive narrative analysis techniques. Result found that compassion fatigue can be realized or not by first responders. Apart from that, workplace conditions and field conditions also influence the compassion fatigue experienced by first responders. However, despite facing compassion fatigue, concern for others and the environment is one of the reasons first responders remain serious about carrying out their duties. Further research is recommended on compassion fatigue experienced by the first responders in Asia, including shift work consequences and coping strategies for psychological disorders.
