“…Previous review studies have focused their analysis on all palliative care professionals, mixing data from nurses and doctors [22][23][24] and providing limited quantitative data on mean values and prevalence of the syndrome and its related factors [22]. Others have been focused on analyzing compassion fatigue in all professionals of the unit [25] and none have done a meta-analysis to estimate the real impact of burnout in palliative care nurses. Thus, it is interesting to exclusively analyze the influence of burnout in palliative nurses and meta-analytically estimate the prevalence of the syndrome as has been done in other units.…”

Palliative care nurses are exposed to hard situations, death, and duel feelings in their daily practice. These, and other work stressors, can favor burnout development. Thus, it is important to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of burnout in palliative care nurses and estimate its prevalence. A systematic review and meta-analysis was done with quantitative primary studies. n = 15 studies were included with n = 6 studies including information for the meta-analysis. The meta-analytic prevalence estimation of emotional exhaustion was 24% (95% CI 16–34%), for depersonalization was 30% (95% CI 18–44%) and for low personal accomplishment was 28% with a sample of n = 693 palliative care nurses. The main variables related with burnout are occupational variables followed by psychological variables. Some interventions to improve working conditions of palliative care nurses should be implemented to reduce burnout.

“…The care of people can imply what has been called, compassion satisfaction (CS): the positivity resulting from caring (Phelps, Lloyd, Creamer, & Forbes, 2009), taken as the "ability to receive gratification from caregiving" (Simon, Pryce & Klemmack, 2006) or as the selflessness and positive feelings resulting from the ability to help. Within the job performance of healthcare professionals, CS is associated with an understanding of the healing process, an internal self-reflexion, a connection with fellowmen, an increased sense of spirituality, and a higher degree of empathy (Hernández García, 2017); it also has its own measuring instrument called the Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction Test (Stamm, 2010). According to some authors, a proper management of self-compassion helps professionals to reduce stress and prevent burnout (Aranda Auserón et al, 2017).…”

Objetivo: análisis de la influencia de estilos de apego, autocompasión, vocación, demanda asistencial, satisfacción de cuidar, satisfacción con el trabajo y burnout sobre la satisfacción por compasión (SC) en profesionales sociosanitarios. Método: Contestaron al cuestionario online 480 profesionales sociosanitarios asistencialmente activos. Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, de experiencia laboral, burnout y satisfacción por compasión (Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida ProQoL), autocompasión (de Neff) y estilos de apego (Cuestionario de Relación). Se analizaron correlaciones, diferencias de medias, regresión lineal múltiple (RLM) y análisis cualitativo de la descripción emocional del trabajo. Resultados: El 79,6% (382) fueron mujeres, edad media de 44,6 (DT=10,86). Resultó significativamente (p<,001) mayor la puntuación SC que burnout. El modelo de SC explicó un 51,5% de la varianza (R2corregida=0,515); como variables predictoras (p<,001), satisfacción de cuidar personas (Beta=,309), vocación (Beta=,184), autoamabilidad (Beta=,158) y burnout (Beta=-,306). Conclusiones: sobre la satisfacción por compasión, directamente influye la satisfacción de cuidar personas, vocación, autoamabilidad y ausencia de burnout. Indirectamente también, la capacidad de atención plena, sentimientos de humanidad compartida, vínculo de apego seguro y satisfacción con el equipo de trabajo. También son factores protectores ante burnout, que se relaciona directamente con estilos de apego preocupado, temeroso y falta de autocompasión; autocrítica, sobreidentificación y aislamiento. Objective: analysis of adult attachment styles, self-compassion, vocation, health care demands, caring satisfaction, job satisfaction and burnout on compassion satisfaction (CS) in healthcare professionals. Method: An online questionnaire was answered by 480 assistentially active healthcare professionals. Variables collected were socio-demographic, work experience, burnout and compassion satisfaction (ProQoL Quality of Life Questionnaire), self-compassion (by Neff), and attachment styles (Relation Questionnaire). Correlations, mean differences, multiple linear regression (MLR) and qualitative analysis of the emotional description of the job were analyzed. Results: A 79,6% (382) were women, age average 44,6 (DT = 10,86). CS score resulted significantly (p<,001) higher than burnout. Model for CS explained a 51.5% of the variability (correctedR2=,515); as predictor variables (p<,001), caring satisfaction (Beta=,309), vocation (Beta=,184), self-kindness (Beta=,158) and burnout (Beta=,306). Conclusions: compassion satisfaction is directly influenced by people caring satisfaction, vocation, self-kindness and absence of burnout. Indirectly also, by mindfulness capacity, feelings of common humanity, secure attachment style and satisfaction with the team. These also are preventing factors from burnout, that is directly related to concerned and fearful attachment styles and lack of self-compassion; self-judgement, over-identification and isolation.

“…This is necessary for our survival as it allows us to show empathy, which is fundamental to social interaction [ 45 ]. However, it also means that when perceiving pain or distress in others, we may also experience the associated physiological activation [ 46 ].…”

“…Compassion fatigue is not uncommon among nurses who regularly care for patients with a life-threatening illness [ 46 ], and it can cause a pervasive decline in their desire, ability and energy to care for others [ 47 ]. The literature indicates that nurses working in oncology are more at risk of suffering compassion fatigue [ 48 ], although a high workload and a lack of support from colleagues and managers are also determining factors [ 49 ].…”

Communicating with children and adolescents with cancer during a needle procedure can prove challenging for healthcare professionals. Objective: Our aim was to explore the perceptions of children and adolescents with cancer regarding communication with nurses during needle procedures. Method: Thus was a qualitative phenomenological study. Data were gathered through seven in-depth interviews with a convenience sample of children and adolescents with cancer. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach to identify themes in the participants’ narratives. Results: The analysis revealed three themes describing participants’ experience: (1) nurses need to explain clearly what they are going to do while also allowing children to express their emotions without feeling coerced; (2) nurses need to be honest and approachable and relate to children as active participants in the treatment process; and (3) it is distressing to hear other children who are undergoing a needle procedure cry out in pain. Further application of the constant comparison method yielded a core theme: (4) the pressures faced by oncology nurses lead them to focus on the technical side of procedures at the expense of their young patients’ communication needs. Conclusion: We suggest that hospital managers need to ensure that oncology nurses have sufficient training in communication skills and are confident in their ability to respect and respond to the communication preferences and needs of patients.
