The role of a resident assistant is complex and multi-faceted, requiring a unique blend of strong interpersonal skills and professional decorum. By contrast, little is known about the depth of self-care needed to mitigate the impact of the role on resident assistants' quality of life. This exploratory mixed-methods research project seeks to determine the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) for resident assistants. They were surveyed using a pre- (n = 106) and post-test (n = 115) across a spring semester. Findings suggest that resident assistants experienced significant ProQOL score changes across all three indicators: compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.
