AB  - This pilot study aimed to explore the impact of a compassion-oriented training 
      program on Personal Care Workers (PCWs) in a nursing home. A mixed-methods 
      approach was used, including pre- and post-questionnaire surveys to measure 
      changes in compassion, and in-depth interviews and daily diaries to explore PCWs' 
      perceptions and experiences. A convenience sample of five female PCWs from a 
      nursing home in Hong Kong participated in the study. The quantitative results 
      showed that the PCWs experienced a decline in compassion after participating in 
      the program. The qualitative data analysis identified three themes: (1) the 
      multifaceted nature of compassion, (2) barriers and threats to compassion, and 
      (3) transfer of skills at the workplace. Overall, These findings highlighted the 
      complexity of implementing effective compassion training programs in nursing 
      home, and emphasized the importance of recognizing the multifaceted nature of 
      compassion and addressing barriers and threats to compassion in the workplace.
