  • Nursing
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Nurses gained media visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic's first wave.
  • This visibility was often accompanied by a sense of discomfort due to a perceived lack of professional, social, and economic recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the experiences of nurses in COVID-19 areas.
  • To explore nurses' perceptions of their role and job satisfaction.
  • To examine the influence of public perception, disseminated through media, on nurses' job satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A Mix-Method approach was employed.
  • Quantitative phase: Stamm's Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) administered to 89 nurses.
  • Qualitative phase: 3 Focus Groups conducted with 17 postgraduate students.

Main Results:

  • Quantitative results showed moderate scores for Compassion Satisfaction (CF) and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), and low scores for Burnout (BO).
  • Qualitative findings identified five key themes: Professional collaboration, Job satisfaction, Nurse's personal skills, Failure to protect the public image, and the nursing profession.

Conclusions:

  • Positive factors such as professional collaboration, teamwork, solidarity, job satisfaction, professional growth, and role awareness positively influenced Compassion Satisfaction.
