Abstract

Aim

Although relationships among positive psychological capital (PsyCap), compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and burnout have been reported, causal relationships among these variables have not been identified. This study examined the influence of positive PsyCap on burnout and confirmed the mediating effects of compassion fatigue and satisfaction among public hospital nurses.

Methods

This study adopted a correlational cross-sectional design. We recruited 237 nurses working at a public hospital, using convenience sampling.

Results

The fit of the hypothetical model was adequate. Positive PsyCap directly affected compassion fatigue and satisfaction, and burnout. It had an indirect effect on burnout. Compassion fatigue and satisfaction directly affect burnout. This finding indicates that compassion fatigue and satisfaction partially mediate between positive PsyCap and burnout. In addition, the mediating effect of compassion fatigue was greater than that of compassion satisfaction on the relationship between positive PsyCap and burnout. Finally, positive PsyCap, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction explained 70.4% of the total variance in burnout scores. The effect size (f²) was 2.38 (large effect size).

Conclusions

Burnout should be assessed with positive PsyCap, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction among public hospital nurses. Given that the mediating effect of compassion fatigue was greater than that of compassion satisfaction, interventions for compassion fatigue may be a strategy to reduce burnout, especially among public hospital nurses with low levels of positive PsyCap.

积极心理资本对公立医院护士职业倦怠的影响：同情疲劳的中介效应大于同情满意度

目的虽然有报道称积极心理资本（PsyCap）、同情疲劳、同情满意度和职业倦怠之间存在关系，但尚未确定这些变量之间的因果关系。本研究探讨了积极心理资本对职业倦怠的影响，并证实了同情疲劳和满意度在公立医院护士中的中介效应。结果假设模型的拟合度良好。积极的心理能力直接影响同情疲劳和满意度以及职业倦怠。它对职业倦怠有间接影响。同情心疲劳和满意度直接影响职业倦怠。这一结果表明，同情心疲劳和满意度在积极心理控制与职业倦怠之间起到了部分中介作用。此外，在正向心理控制与职业倦怠之间的关系上，同情疲劳的中介效应大于同情满意的中介效应。最后，积极心理上限、同情疲劳和同情满意度解释了倦怠得分总方差的 70.4%。结论在公立医院护士中，倦怠感应通过积极心理暗示、同情疲劳和同情满意度来评估。鉴于同情心疲劳的中介效应大于同情心满意度的中介效应，对同情心疲劳进行干预可能是减少职业倦怠的一种策略，尤其是对积极心理控制能力较低的公立医院护士而言。
