Purpose:
The purpose of this study was conducted to adapt the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale (CF-Short Scale) for Turkish healthcare professionals and determine its validity and reliability.
Design And Methods:
This methodological study was conducted with 132 healthcare professionals. The CF-Short Scale, the Burnout Measure-Short Version, and the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale were used in the study.
Results:
The CF-Short Scale has a two-factor structure: job burnout and secondary traumatic stress. It was determined that the consistency of the structural equation model designed for the scale was good and acceptable. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.91 for the whole scale.
Practice Implications:
The Turkish version of the CF-Short Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the compassion fatigue of healthcare professionals.
