Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to: (a) determine the levels of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion satisfaction among intensive care unit nurses at the university hospital in Sfax, Tunisia, and (b) explore the relationship between resilience and the three dimensions of professional quality of life in this nursing specialty.

Design and methods: This was a descriptive and predictive study using validated self-reporting instruments: Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5 and Brief Resilience Scale. Multiple regression using stepwise solution was employed to explore the relationship between resilience and the three dimensions of professional quality of life (burnout (BO), compassion satisfaction (CS), and secondary traumatic stress (STS)). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Results: The results revealed that 61.3%, 63.2%, and 47.2% of ICU nurses were in the moderate range for BO, CS, and STS, respectively. Resilience score was the critical predictor contributing to Professional Quality of Life subscales scores: Burnout (β = -0.26, p = 0.001), secondary traumatic stress (β = -0.23, p = 0.001) scores were negatively predicted by resilience score. However, CS score was positively predicted by resilience score (β = 0.28, p = 0.002).

Conclusion: The current study's findings support the argument for the development of training programs to promote psychological resilience among ICU nurses in order to improve the quality of professional life.

目的：本研究旨在：(a)确定突尼斯斯法克斯大学医院重症监护室护士的职业倦怠、继发性创伤应激和同情满意度水平；(b)探讨该护理专业心理弹性与职业生活质量三个维度之间的关系。设计和方法：这是一项描述性和预测性研究，使用经过验证的自我报告工具：专业生活质量量表第5版和简短恢复力量表。采用多元回归逐步解法探讨心理弹性与职业生活质量三个维度（职业倦怠（BO）、同情满意度（CS）和继发性创伤应激（STS））之间的关系。结果：ICU护士BO、CS、STS分别有61.3%、63.2%、47.2%处于中等范围。心理弹性评分是职业生活质量量表得分的重要预测因子，职业倦怠（β = -0.26, p = 0.001）、继发创伤应激（β = -0.23, p = 0.001）得分被心理弹性评分负向预测。而弹性评分正预测CS评分（β = 0.28, p = 0.002）。结论：目前的研究结果支持发展培训计划，以提高ICU护士的心理弹性，以提高职业生活质量的论点。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Intensive Care Society (JICS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that strives to disseminate clinically and scientifically relevant peer-reviewed research, evaluation, experience and opinion to all staff working in the field of intensive care medicine. Our aim is to inform clinicians on the provision of best practice and provide direction for innovative scientific research in what is one of the broadest and most multi-disciplinary healthcare specialties. While original articles and systematic reviews lie at the heart of the Journal, we also value and recognise the need for opinion articles, case reports and correspondence to guide clinically and scientifically important areas in which conclusive evidence is lacking. The style of the Journal is based on its founding mission statement to ‘instruct, inform and entertain by encompassing the best aspects of both tabloid and broadsheet''.
