Nephrology nurses are not immune to the effects of a stressful work environment. As a result, their emotional and psychological health can be at risk. In addition, there has been unprecedented stress and uncertainty working as nephrology nurses during the pandemic. These stressors can have negative effects on nurses' health, resulting in burnout and/or compassion fatigue, which can lead to nurses leaving nephrology or the nursing profession. Mindfulness has been suggested as a strategy to mitigate work-related stressors and build a more resilient workforce. Our experience suggests that combining self-compassion practices with mindfulness is also effective. Mindfulness may be beneficial for nephrology nurses, but its use does not negate the need for organizations to address the structural system issues that also contribute to burnout.
肾病科护士也不能免受高压工作环境的影响。因此，他们的情绪和心理健康可能处于危险之中。此外，在疫情期间，作为肾病科护士，他们面临着前所未有的压力和不确定性。这些压力源会对护士的健康产生负面影响，导致倦怠和/或同情心疲劳，从而导致护士离开肾病科或护理行业。正念已被建议作为减轻与工作相关的压力源和建立更具弹性的劳动力的策略。我们的经验表明，将自我同情实践与正念相结合也是有效的。正念可能对肾病科护士有益，但它的使用并不能否定组织解决也导致倦怠的结构性系统问题的必要性。
