Background:
Compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout are negative consequences of providing nursing care among nurses.
Purpose:
This cross-sectional study examined a model of negative consequences of providing nursing care (i.e., compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Methods:
Data were collected from 174 registered nurses in the level III and IV NICUs in a Midwestern state. Moderated mediation analysis was conducted.
Findings:
Self-compassion mediated the relationship between strength of the nurse-infant/family relationship and the negative consequences only when the nurse-physician-collegiality was high. There was no such relationship when the level was low.
Discussion:
The study findings support the model of a mechanism for the development of negative consequences, involving self-compassion and nurse-physician collegiality.
Conclusions:
The findings may be applied to development of interventions to address negative consequences in nurses and help nursing administrators reduce staff nurses' negative consequences.
