Abstract

This study is conducted to analyze the relationship between the transformative power of suffering among nurses and their compassion level of others' lives after the earthquake. Nurses are under the risk of experiencing a second trauma since they give care for earthquake survivors while they are also survivors at the same time. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. This study was conducted among 238 nurses. Data of the study were collected with Socio-demographic Form, the Transformative Power of Suffering Scale (TPSS) and Compassion of Others' Lives Scale (COOL). The study was reported following the STROBE. The TPSS mean score of nurses was found as 20.61 ± 7.62, their total mean score of COOL was found as 10.63 ± 2.09. Statistically significant differences were found between the age, gender, working period, position in the unit of nurses and mean scores of TPSS. In the correlation analysis, a weak positive correlation between TPSS and total COOL and its subscales was found. It was found that TPSS mean score of nurses was at medium-level, that COOL total mean score of nurses was at good level and as the transformative power of suffering increased, the compassion of others' lives increased.

地震后护士对他人生活的同情程度和痛苦的变革力量：一项横断面研究。

本研究旨在分析震后护士对他人生命的同情程度与痛苦转化能力之间的关系。护士在照顾地震幸存者的同时也是幸存者，因此面临着经历第二次创伤的风险。本研究为描述性横断面研究。本研究对238名护士进行调查。研究数据采用社会人口学量表、苦难转化力量表（TPSS）和他人生命同情量表（COOL）进行收集。这项研究是在STROBE之后报道的。护士TPSS平均得分为20.61±7.62分，COOL总平均得分为10.63±2.09分。护士的年龄、性别、工作年限、单位职务与TPSS平均得分有统计学差异。在相关分析中，TPSS与总COOL及其子量表呈弱正相关。结果发现，护士的TPSS平均得分处于中等水平，护士的COOL总得分处于良好水平，随着痛苦转化力的增强，对他人生命的同情也随之增强。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
