Journal Article
COPING BETTER WITH THE EMOTIONAL COST OF WORKING WITH LABORATORY ANIMALS
2023
Overview
Research on relevant, carefully designed and controlled animal models is an indispensable part of biomedical science. But working with laboratory animals may have a negative impact on the researchers, technicians, veterinarians and support staff, who may experience a significant emotional cost of compassion fatigue and moral stress when performing their different roles in research. This \"cost of caring\" is mainly caused by the connection we form with the laboratory animals and the empathy we feel for them. The effects of this condition can manifest as mental, behavioral, and even physical changes, such as apathy, irritability, depression and isolation, that in extreme cases may lead to health deterioration and addictive behaviors. These effects may in turn negatively impact work morale, staff turnover and even animal welfare. The aim of this talk is to improve our understanding of the causes and symptoms of these conditions, and to provide suggestions and resources for addressing these issues, highlighting better ways to cope and mitigate them.
