To investigate the current state of compassion fatigue among operating room nurses, analyze the factors influencing compassion fatigue (particularly psychological resilience), and provide a basis for developing a compassion fatigue intervention program for operating room nursing managers.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2022. A total of 258 operating room nurses were surveyed using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). The ProQOL demonstrated internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach's α values ranging from 0.75 to 0.88 across its three subscales. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the RSA was 0.91.
Scores on various dimensions of compassion fatigue among operating room nurses were as follows: the total score was 84.07 (standard deviation [SD] = 7.74), with a mean score of 28.02. 92 nurses (35.5%) had no compassion fatigue or only mild compassion fatigue, whereas 166 nurses (64.3%) experienced moderate or greater compassion fatigue. The total score for psychological resilience was 112.9 (SD = 6.47), with a mean score of 18.82. Factors influencing compassion fatigue included the relationship between labor and personnel, the number of night shifts per week, and mental resilience. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Compassion fatigue among nurses in the operating room is severe and is mainly influenced by factors such as night shift work, the relationship between labor and personnel, and mental resilience. Appropriate interventions are recommended to address these factors and reduce nurses' compassion fatigue.

调查手术室护士的同情疲劳现状,分析影响同情疲劳的因素(尤其是心理弹性),为手术室护理管理者制定同情疲劳干预方案提供依据。
本横断面研究于2022年2月进行。采用职业生活质量量表(ProQOL)和成人心理弹性量表(RSA)对258名手术室护士进行调查。ProQOL量表具有内部一致性信度,其三个分量表的Cronbach's α值在0.75至0.88之间。RSA量表的Cronbach's α系数为0.91。
手术室护士同情疲劳各维度得分如下:总分84.07(标准差[SD]=7.74),平均分28.02。92名护士(35.5%)无同情疲劳或仅有轻度同情疲劳,而166名护士(64.3%)经历了中度或更严重的同情疲劳。心理弹性总分112.9(SD=6.47),平均分18.82。影响同情疲劳的因素包括劳动与人员关系、每周夜班次数和心理弹性。差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。
手术室护士的同情疲劳严重,主要受夜班工作、劳动与人员关系及心理弹性等因素影响。建议采取适当干预措施解决这些因素,减轻护士的同情疲劳。
