OBJECTIVE
This study examined the factors contributing to compassion fatigue (CF) for personal care attendants (PCAs) working in the Australian aged care sector.
METHODS
Social media was the main recruitment mode. An anonymous online self-report survey collected demographic information and measures of CF from 169 PCAs, aged between 18 and 66 years.
RESULTS
High levels of CF were reported by 53.3% of respondents. Compassion fatigue was higher in PCAs working in residential aged care than those in community care. Predictors of CF were psychological distress, not having time to care for clients, and poor work psychosocial safety climate. Psychological distress explained 47.9% of the variance in the regression model.
CONCLUSIONS
Many PCAs working in the Australian aged care sector report experiencing CF, which is highly associated with psychological distress. Interventions to reduce psychological stress for PCAs in aged care are urgently needed to ensure quality care and safety for residents.
目的
本研究探讨了澳大利亚老年护理行业中个人护理员（PCA）产生同情疲劳（CF）的影响因素。
方法
社交媒体是主要招募方式。一项匿名在线自我报告调查收集了169名年龄在18至66岁之间的PCA的人口统计学信息和同情疲劳测量数据。
结果
53.3%的受访者报告有高水平的同情疲劳。在老年护理机构工作的PCA比社区护理中的PCA同情疲劳程度更高。同情疲劳的预测因素是心理困扰、没有时间照顾客户以及工作心理社会安全氛围不佳。心理困扰在回归模型中解释了47.9%的方差。
结论
许多在澳大利亚老年护理行业工作的PCA报告称经历了同情疲劳，这与心理困扰高度相关。迫切需要采取干预措施来减轻老年护理中PCA的心理压力，以确保为居民提供优质护理和安全保障。
