1Department of Pediatrics, Nanjing Lishui People's Hospital, Nanjing, China.
Background:
Compassion fatigue is a state of emotional and physical exhaustion that arises from frequent contact with people who have experienced trauma or stress, which may affect particularly those working in health care. This study aimed to elucidate the prevalence and determinants of compassion fatigue among pediatric nurses.
Methods:
A survey was administered to pediatric nurses at a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu province, China. Chinese compassion fatigue scale was used to investigate the compassion fatigue.
Results:
The study enrolled 364 pediatric nurses, with a compassion fatigue prevalence of 59.89%. Age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.094, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.833-2.418), education level (OR = 2.118, 95% CI = 1.852-2.669), monthly income (OR = 3.976, 95% CI = 2.904-4.412), and having children at home (OR = 2.314, 95% CI = 1.851-3.025) were independent predictors of compassion fatigue.
Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate the need for targeted interventions to mitigate compassion fatigue in pediatric nurses.
