Nurses experience many psychological problems in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Compassion Fatigue (CF) in nurses and the role of Spiritual Well-being (SW), Emotion Regulation (ER), and Time Perspective (TP) in predicting it.
The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical samples of this study included 394 nurses in Iran who were selected by the census sampling method. The sub-scale of CF from the Professional Quality of Life Scale, SW questionnaire, ER, and the short form of TP questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance tests were used to analyze the data.
The prevalence of CF in nurses in the COVID-19 outbreak was 59.39%. CF in female nurses was higher than that in male nurses (F = 15.23, < 0.001); in married nurses, it was higher than that in single nurses (F = 14.23, < 0.001); and in nurses on fixed shifts, it was higher than that in nurses on rotating shifts (F = 5.63, < 0.001). Also, CF in the emergency nurses, intensive care unit nurses, and coronary care unit nurses working under COVID-19 pandemic was higher than that in the emergency nurses and nurses who worked in other wards (F = 14.31, < 0.001). The results of hierarchical regression showed that SW, ER, and positive past negatively and suppression, present-fatalistic, negative past, and negative future positively predicted the CF ( < 0.001).
Based on the results, programs and psychological trainings based on SW, ER, and TP are suggested to reduce CF in nurses in the COVID-19 outbreak.
在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情期间，护士面临许多心理问题。本研究旨在调查护士中同情疲劳（CF）的患病率，以及精神幸福感（SW）、情绪调节（ER）和时间洞察力（TP）在预测同情疲劳方面的作用。
研究方法为描述性相关性研究。本研究的统计样本包括伊朗的394名护士，采用普查抽样方法选取。使用职业生活质量量表中的CF子量表、SW问卷、ER问卷和TP问卷简表收集数据。采用描述性统计和协方差分析检验对数据进行分析。
COVID-19疫情期间护士中CF的患病率为59.39%。女性护士的CF高于男性护士（F = 15.23，P < 0.001）；已婚护士的CF高于单身护士（F = 14.23，P < 0.001）；固定班次护士的CF高于轮班护士（F = 5.63，P < 0.001）。此外，在COVID-19大流行期间工作的急诊护士、重症监护病房护士和冠心病监护病房护士的CF高于急诊护士和其他病房的护士（F = 14.31，P < 0.001）。层次回归结果显示，SW、ER和积极过去对CF有负向预测作用，而压抑、当前宿命论、消极过去和消极未来对CF有正向预测作用（P < 0.001）。
基于研究结果，建议开展基于SW、ER和TP的项目及心理培训，以降低COVID-19疫情期间护士的CF。
