Abstract
Purpose: To explore the relationship between nurses' perceptions of consultation-liaison psychiatric nurses (CLPNs), psychosocial care competence, and compassion fatigue.
Method: The current study involved 453 nurses recruited using snowball sampling. Data were collected using a demographic information form (with items on perceived effectiveness of CLPN support: CLPN1 and CLPN2), the Psychosocial Care Competence Self-Assessment Scale (PCCSAS), and Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale (CFSS).
Results: Of total participants, 65.6% perceived CLPN support as highly effective for psychosocial care, and 62.7% for workplace mental health. Nurses reported above-average psychosocial care competence and moderate compassion fatigue. CLPN1 correlated positively with the PCCSAS; CLPN2 showed a low positive correlation with the CFSS subscale, secondary traumatic stress. The PCCSAS had a weak positive correlation with the CFSS and a weak negative correlation with the job burnout subscale of the CFSS.
Conclusion: Programs that enhance psychosocial care competence, reduce compassion fatigue, and promote CLPN involvement are needed.
