Abstract

Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses are repetitively exposed to traumatic situations and stressful events, which can lead to compassion fatigue (CF). Compassion fatigue can negatively affect the nurses' emotional and physical health and job satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between CF and nursing care quality in ICU. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 46 ICU nurses and 138 ICU patients, in 2 referral hospitals in Gorgan, Northeast of Iran in 2020. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using CF and nursing care quality questionnaires. The results of this study showed that most nurses were women (n = 31, 67.4%), with mean age of 28.58 ± 4.80 years. The mean patients' age was 49.22 ± 22.01 years and 87 (63%) of them were male. The severity of CF in most ICU nurses (54.3%) was moderate, with a mean score of 86.21 ± 16.78. Among of the subscales, psychosomatic score was higher than the rest of subscales (0.53 ± 0.26). Nursing care quality was at the optimal level (91.3%) with the mean score of 81.51 ± 9.93. The highest scores of nursing care were related to subscale of medications, intake, and output (0.92 ± 0.23). In this study, there was a weak and inverse relationship between CF and nursing care quality (r = -0.28; P = .058). The results of this study indicate a weak, nonsignificant inverse relationship between CF and nursing care quality in ICU.

伊朗东北地区重症监护病房同情疲劳与护理质量关系的相关研究

重症监护室(ICU)的护士反复暴露在创伤情景和压力事件中，这可能导致同情疲劳(CF)。同情疲劳对护士身心健康和工作满意度有负向影响。本研究的目的是评估CF与ICU护理质量的关系。本描述性相关研究于2020年在伊朗东北部戈尔根的2家转诊医院对46名ICU护士和138名ICU患者进行了研究。研究对象采用分层随机抽样方法。采用CF法和护理质量问卷法收集数据。结果显示，护士以女性为主(n = 31, 67.4%)，平均年龄28.58±4.80岁。患者平均年龄49.22±22.01岁，男性87例(63%)。ICU护士CF严重程度以中度为主(54.3%)，平均评分为86.21±16.78分。其中心身评分高于其他量表(0.53±0.26)。护理质量处于最佳水平(91.3%)，平均得分为81.51±9.93分。护理得分最高的是药物、摄入、输出分量表(0.92±0.23)。本研究中，CF与护理质量呈弱负相关(r = -0.28;P = .058)。本研究结果表明，CF与ICU护理质量呈弱的、不显著的负相关。
