Compassion fatigue is a true phenomenon experienced by overworked and exhausted nurses.
This study assessed frontline nurses' compassion fatigue, stress, mental health, and turnover intention during the second year of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Using a cross-sectional design, an online survey was administered in the first quarter of 2021 to 259 hospital nurses in the Central Philippines using standardized scales to gather the necessary data.
Nurses were found to have moderate levels of compassion fatigue and turnover intention, high stress, and good mental health. Results revealed that compassion fatigue was associated with poor mental health (r = -5.05, = 0.01), higher stress levels (r = 0.54, = <0.001), and turnover intention (r = 0.27, = <0.001).
Pandemic-related compassion fatigue in nurses increases their stress, worsens their mental health, and heightens their intentions to leave their jobs. Organizations should address compassion fatigue through a supportive work climate.
同情疲劳是过度劳累和疲惫不堪的护士所经历的一种真实现象。
本研究评估了新冠疫情爆发第二年一线护士的同情疲劳、压力、心理健康和离职意愿。
采用横断面设计，于2021年第一季度对菲律宾中部259名医院护士进行在线调查，使用标准化量表收集必要数据。
护士的同情疲劳和离职意愿处于中等水平，压力较大，心理健康状况良好。结果显示，同情疲劳与心理健康不佳（r = -5.05，p = 0.01）、压力水平较高（r = 0.54，p = <0.001）和离职意愿（r = 0.27，p = <0.001）相关。
护士中与疫情相关的同情疲劳会增加他们的压力，恶化他们的心理健康，并增强他们离职的意愿。组织应通过支持性的工作氛围来应对同情疲劳。
