“…It was also revealed that, higher empathy significantly contributed to higher CS, and lower CF (burnout and STS) in NGNs, which are similar to the results of previous studies on experienced nurses [ 15 , 16 ]. Empathy represents a caregiver’s ability to understand and share in clients’ thoughts and feelings from their perspectives, which can help identify clients’ needs, provide needs-based care, and facilitate clients’ satisfaction [ 33 ].…”

“…Interestingly, regarding the association between empathy and professional quality of life in nurses, it was found that, empathy was the main etiology for CF [ 14 ]. Empathy was positively and significantly related to CS, but negatively and significantly related to CF among nurses in China and Portugal [ 15 , 16 ]. Furthermore, empathy was a significant contributor to CS in oncology nurses [ 17 ].…”

Background Data on professional quality of life in newly graduated nurses are scarce. This study aimed to describe the levels of professional quality of life, and to explore the relationships of transition shock, empathy, resilience and coping strategies with professional quality of life in newly graduated nurses. Methods This was a cross-sectional study, which used a two-stage sampling method to recruit 393 newly graduated nurses in Sichuan province of China. Multiple regression analysis was used to explore the effects of transition shock, empathy, resilience and coping strategies on professional quality of life. Data were collected using standardized scales. Results The prevalence of average levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress in newly graduated nurses were 80.2, 38.2 and 57.5%, respectively. Transition shock was a significant negative predictor, and empathy, resilience and adaptive coping were significant positive predictors for compassion satisfaction. Transition shock and passive coping were significant positive predictors, and empathy was a significant negative predictor for burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Resilience and adaptive coping contributed to burnout significantly and negatively. Conclusion Higher transition shock and lower empathy cause lower compassion satisfaction and higher compassion fatigue. More resilience and adaptive coping cause more compassion satisfaction and less burnout. More passive coping contributes to higher compassion fatigue. Strategies such as transition or preceptorship programmes, and empathy, resilience and coping training are effective methods to reduce transition shock, facilitate empathy, resilience and coping, and consequently, enhance professional quality of life in newly graduated nurses.

“…The indirect effect of stress on burnout with CS as the mediator is greater than the indirect effect of stress on burnout with STS as the mediator ( indirect 1indirect Based on a nationwide representative sample, the average burnout score of Korean nurses was 26.7 (5.2) indicating moderate burnout. In previous studies-that used the same measurement tool as this studythe average burnout score for American nurses was 23.66-25.63 which was lower than in Korea [21][22][23], while the average burnout score of Chinese nurses was 26, similar to that of Korea [34]. In this study there were 56% of nurses who were rotational shift workers and 88% who did overtime; however, they received a substantially lower annual salary and the results were similar to other Asian countries [20,35].…”

“…In particular, the indirect effect of CS was greater than the indirect effect by STS (Table 3) resulting in reducing burnout of nurses. Moreover, high empathy reduces a nurse's burnout [34], which can be interpreted as more positive effects experienced by nurses who feel rewarded by helping others even in di cult situations. Therefore, it would be effective to establish a management strategy to reduce the burnout of nurses in a way that reduces stress and increases CS.…”

BackgroundNurses’ burnout is a public health epidemic around the world that adversely affects nurses’ quality of life as well as the patient's outcomes. In this study, we aim to test a hypothetical path model evaluating the influence of stress on nurse's burnout and to identify the mediating effects of secondary traumatic stress (STS) and compassion satisfaction (CS) among clinical nurses in South Korea. MethodsA quantitative, cross-sectional study evaluated the survey data from 10,305 female registered nurses who participated in the Korea Nurses’ Health Study (KNHS) Module 5. The survey included a demographic questionnaire and the Professional Quality of Life version 5 (ProQOL 5). Bootstrap analyses (using the PROCESS macro) was employed to evaluate the mediating effect between variables. ResultsStress was significantly associated with burnout and mediated by STS and CS. In addition, the magnitude of the indirect effects of CS was significantly greater than the magnitude of the indirect effects of STS. The findings of this study showed the positive aspect (CS) of work experiences might offset the negative aspects (STS), consequently reducing the burnout level. ConclusionsOur study findings suggest that a multidimensional approach to assessing nurse burnout and implementing proper management will help to improve quality of life for nurses and help maintain positive attitudes and quality of patient care.

“…[ 18 ] As there is greatly difference of the healthcare delivery system between China and Western countries, and additionally, although several studies have explored the prevalence and factors of compassion fatigue among various specialty units of the hospital, the results presented by various studies are not completely consistent and even in contradiction. [ 16 , 19 – 21 ] Thus, the purpose of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive evaluation of current empirical evidence for the prevalence and factors of compassion fatigue among Chinese clinic nurses.…”

Background: Compassion fatigue is defined as a detrimental consequence of experiencing work-related stress among nurses, which can affect the job performance and harm emotional and physical health. The high risk of compassion fatigue among nurses may be even more severe in China. Although several studies have explored the prevalence and factors of compassion fatigue among Chinese nurses, most data derived merely from the specialty units of the hospital or limited samples, and there is a large heterogeneity among studies. Thus, it is indispensable to systematically summarize the risk factors and prevalence of compassion fatigue among clinical nurse in China. Methods: Two reviewers will independently conduct comprehensively searches in 9 electronic databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE, Web of science, MEDLINE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang and Chinese Biological Medical Database (CBM) with no search date restriction. Cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies that described the prevalence and factors of Chinese nurses compassion fatigue will be eligible for inclusion. The risk of bias and methodological quality of individual study will be assessed using an adapted quality assessment tool from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Stata 16.0 software will be used for meta-analysis. Results: The primary outcome will be the prevalence of 3 dimension of compassion fatigue in Chinese nurses. The secondary outcomes will be comparisons of compassion fatigue scores among Chinese nurse of different education background, marital status, employment forms and professional titles. Conclusion: This overview will contribute to reveal the prevalence and influencing factors in compassion fatigue among Chinese nurses and provide a scientific evidence for the prediction and prevention in compassion fatigue.
