Care and treatment within oncology is characterized by significant emotional demands from healthcare professionals resulting in burnout and distress. We examined the effect of compassion training on healthcare professionals using a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design.
Oncology healthcare professionals underwent four weeks compassion training program. Participants completed the Self-Compassion and Professional Quality of Life Health questionnaires at baseline and post-training. Two focus group interviews were conducted using interpretive description methodology.
A total of 22 healthcare professionals participated. Four weeks of compassion training resulted in significantly improved overall Self-Compassion score (3.8 vs 4.0; P = 0.019), Self-Kindness (3.7 vs 4.0; P = 0.028), Self-Judgement (3.7 vs 4.0; P = 0.05), and Common-Humanity (3.9 vs 4.1; P = 0.013). Participants who did not complete the training (N = 9) versus those who completed (N = 13) had statistically significantly lower overall Self-Compassion scores (3.0 vs. 3.8; P = 0.004) and lower Self-Kindness (2.8 vs. 3.7; P = 0.04), Self-Judgement (2.9 vs. 3.7; P = 0.036), Common-Humanity (3.0 vs. 3.9; P = 0.036), Isolation (2.9 vs. 4.1; P = 0.001), and Over-Identification (2.9 vs. 3.4; P = 0.030). They also scored lower in Professional Quality of Life Health measures, including Compassion-Satisfaction (22.7 vs. 26.9; P = 0.011) and Perceived-Support (19.6 vs. 24.8; P = 0.007), while scoring higher for Burnout (19.2 vs. 12.7; P = 0.001), Secondary-Traumatic-Stress (14.0 vs. 10.6; P = 0.036), and Compassion-Fatigue (15.4 vs. 11.6; P = 0.001). The focus group interviews revealed four themes: Impact of Leader Approval, Project Manager, Work-Related Stress, and Calm Mind.
Four weeks of compassion training significantly improved self-compassion. Healthcare professionals who did not complete the training had lower levels of self-compassion and professional quality of life.
肿瘤学领域的护理和治疗对医护人员有着巨大的情感需求,这会导致职业倦怠和困扰。我们采用混合方法解释性序列设计,研究了共情训练对医护人员的影响。
肿瘤学医护人员参加了为期四周的共情训练项目。参与者在基线和训练后完成了自我共情和职业生活质量健康问卷。使用解释性描述方法进行了两次焦点小组访谈。
共有22名医护人员参与。四周的共情训练使总体自我共情得分显著提高(3.8对4.0;P = 0.019),自我友善程度(3.7对4.0;P = 0.028)、自我评判(3.7对4.0;P = 0.05)和共同人性(3.9对4.1;P = 0.013)也显著提高。未完成训练的参与者(N = 9)与完成训练的参与者(N = 13)相比,总体自我共情得分在统计学上显著更低(3.0对3.8;P = 0.004),自我友善程度更低(2.8对3.7;P = 0.04),自我评判更低(2.9对3.7;P = 0.036),共同人性更低(3.0对3.9;P = 0.036),孤立感更低(2.9对4.1;P = 0.001),过度认同更低(2.9对3.4;P = 0.030)。他们在职业生活质量健康指标上的得分也更低,包括共情满意度(22.7对26.9;P = 0.011)和感知支持(19.6对24.8;P = 0.007),而职业倦怠得分更高(19.2对12.7;P = 0.001),继发性创伤压力得分更高(14.0对10.6;P = 0.036),共情疲劳得分更高(15.4对11.6;P = 0.001)。焦点小组访谈揭示了四个主题:领导认可的影响、项目经理、工作相关压力和平静心态。
四周的共情训练显著提高了自我共情能力。未完成训练的医护人员自我共情水平和职业生活质量较低。
