METHODS: It is a descriptive study. The sample of the study was composed of 167 nurses who were working in the intensive care units of the hospitals in Turkey. Data were collected by using \"Personal Information Form\", \"The Spiritual Well-Being Scale\" and \"The Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale\" between July and October 2022. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation, and simple regression analysis were used to analyse data.
RESULTS: 35% (n = 59) of the participants were between 22 and 27 years old; 73% (n = 122) were females; 67% (n = 112) had an undergraduate degree; 57% (n = 96) had an experience of 1 to 5 years in the intensive care. It was determined that intensive care nurses had a moderate level of compassion fatigue and a high level of spiritual well-being. Although especially the educational levels of the nurses contributed to their level of spiritual well-being, a younger age and being single and less experienced in the nursing profession and intensive care were identified as significant factors in determining compassion fatigue. Nurses\' Spiritual Well-Being Scale mean score was 113.89 ± 15.50. The mean score of the Compassion Fatigue Scale was 60.15 ± 29.24. A positive correlation was found between the Spiritual Well-Being and the Compassion Fatigue Scales (ß = 0.358, p = 0.000).
CONCLUSIONS: Although intensive care nurses have a high level of spiritual well-being in general, they experience a moderate level of compassion fatigue. Younger and less experienced nurses should get more attention in intensive care units against compassion fatigue.
CONCLUSIONS: Management of feelings of compassion can be a protective factor for compassion fatigue and can be used as a prevention strategy in the context of improving mental well-being among intensive care nurses. Awareness and knowledge of nurses on spiritual needs should be enhanced.
方法:这是一项描述性研究。该研究的样本由167名护士组成,他们在土耳其医院的重症监护病房工作。数据是通过使用“个人信息表”收集的,2022年7月至10月之间的“精神幸福感量表”和“同情疲劳短量表”。描述性统计,t检验,相关性,和简单回归分析用于分析数据。
结果:35%(n=59)的参与者年龄在22至27岁之间;73%(n=122)是女性;67%(n=112)具有本科学位;57%(n=96)有1至5年的重症监护经验。确定重症监护护士有中等程度的同情疲劳和高水平的精神健康。尽管特别是护士的教育水平有助于他们的精神健康水平,年龄较小,单身,在护理专业和重症监护方面经验不足被认为是决定同情疲劳的重要因素.护士精神幸福感量表平均得分为113.89±15.50。同情疲劳量表的平均得分为60.15±29.24。精神幸福感和同情心疲劳量表之间存在正相关(β=0.358,p=0.000)。
结论:尽管重症监护护士总体上具有较高的精神幸福感,他们经历了中等程度的同情疲劳。年轻和缺乏经验的护士应该得到更多的关注在重症监护病房对同情疲劳。
结论:同情感的管理可能是同情疲劳的保护因素,并可用作改善重症监护护士心理健康的预防策略。应提高护士对精神需求的认识和知识。
