To determine the effect of fear and coping with death on compassion fatigue in nurses working in the intensive care unit.
Correlational-predictive design, applied in 245 nurses working in the intensive care unit through intentional sampling. The study applied a personal data card, the Collet-Lester Fear of Death Scale (α=0.72), the Bugen Fell of Death Scale (α=0.82), and the Empathy Exhaustion Scale (α=0.80). Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, such as Spearman's test and a structural equation model.
The work had 255 nurses who participated, finding a relationship among fear and coping toward death and compassion fatigue (p<0.01), together with the equation model showing that fear and coping toward death have a positive effect in 43.6% on compassion fatigue.
Fear and coping with death have an effect on compassion fatigue in nurses working in the intensive care unit, so that when working in a critical area it can cause health effects.
确定 ICU 护士对死亡的恐惧和应对方式对同情疲劳的影响。
采用相关性预测设计,通过意向性抽样对 245 名 ICU 护士进行研究。研究采用个人数据卡、科莱特-莱斯特死亡恐惧量表(α=0.72)、布根菲尔德死亡量表(α=0.82)和同理心衰竭量表(α=0.80)。进行了描述性和推断性统计,如 Spearman 检验和结构方程模型。
该工作有 255 名护士参与,发现对死亡的恐惧和应对方式与同情疲劳之间存在关系(p<0.01),同时方程模型显示,对死亡的恐惧和应对方式对同情疲劳有 43.6%的积极影响。
对死亡的恐惧和应对方式对 ICU 护士的同情疲劳有影响,因此在重症监护领域工作可能会对健康产生影响。
