Hospice nurses were the first to have some of their experiences described as 'compassion fatigue' but this term can now be applied to all nursing staff in clinical environments. Compassion fatigue can suddenly render nurses unable to distinguish between their own emotions and those of their patients. This fatigue can result in staff becoming emotionally drained and therefore unable to provide high quality care. While nurses have to regain public trust in the wake of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust inquiry, this article considers whether or not Schwartz rounds, an initiative introduced from the US, can help maintain the wellbeing of staff and so protect the quality of patient care.
临终关怀护士是首批其某些经历被描述为“同情疲劳”的人，但现在这个术语可适用于临床环境中的所有护理人员。同情疲劳会突然使护士无法区分自己与患者的情绪。这种疲劳会导致工作人员情绪耗尽，从而无法提供高质量的护理。在斯塔福德郡国民保健服务基金会信托基金调查之后，护士们必须重新赢得公众的信任，本文探讨了从美国引入的一项举措——施瓦茨圆桌会议，是否有助于维持工作人员的福祉，从而保障患者护理质量。
