Compassion has been defined as the acknowledgement of someone's suffering and being able to alleviate or end that suffering. As senior nursing students, we feel strongly that it is a nurse's responsibility to provide physical and emotional care to those in need. Research on compassion fatigue shows that nurses working in specialty areas including the intensive care unit are at an increased risk of developing compassion fatigue. This article provides a student perspective on what compassion fatigue is, whom it affects, and what implementations can be used to prevent and/or treat it.
同情被定义为对他人痛苦的认知，并能够减轻或消除这种痛苦。作为高年级护理专业学生，我们强烈认为，为有需要的人提供身体和情感护理是护士的职责。关于同情疲劳的研究表明，在包括重症监护病房在内的专科领域工作的护士出现同情疲劳的风险增加。本文从学生的角度阐述了什么是同情疲劳、它会影响哪些人，以及可以采用哪些措施来预防和/或治疗同情疲劳。
