“…Although the relationship is different according to the time and place where the research was carried out, empathy and compassion fatigue are related concepts. On the other hand, Abbaszadeh et al (2017), in their study to reveal the relationship between compassion fatigue and burnout in nurses, claim that there is no significant relationship between compassion fatigue and burnout in nurses and present a different result. In general, although it is a study that expresses a contradictory opinion, there is a relationship between compassion fatigue and burnout in nurses.…”

Background: The burnout levels of nurses, who have an important place in the delivery of health services, are increasing day by day. As the burnout levels of nurses increase, there may be undesirable situations such as compassion fatigue specific to them, their patients and their institutions. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of compassion fatigue seen in nurses on burnout and the mediating role of empathy in this effect. Methods: The research was conducted on nurses working in three public hospitals operating in Sakarya, Turkey, between 2 January and 16 April 2019. Since the research was conducted in more than one hospital, the minimum number of participants was determined for each hospital using the stratified sampling method in the first stage. In the second stage, the participants were selected by convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics, linear regression and process macro regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Results: The results showed the effect of nurses’ compassion fatigue on burnout and empathy (β = 0.673). In addition, empathy has a mediating role in the effect of compassion fatigue on burnout (β = 0.251). Conclusions/implications for practice: Reducing the burnout levels of nurses, who have a very important place in the delivery of health services, is important for both themselves and patients. It is recommended that the results of this study, which may contribute to the development of the awareness of nurse managers, should be made with the ability to understand the symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout, teaching coping methods and providing support by experts when necessary.

Araştırma sağlık kurumlarında çalışan personelin iş stresi, yorgunluk ve tükenmişlik ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışma Isparta'daki bazı sağlık kurumlarında hasta ile doğrudan ilişkili çalışan hekim, hemşire ve yardımcı personel olmak üzere 300 birey üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarının iş stresi, yorgunluk ve tükenmişliğini belirlemede İsveç İş Yükü-Kontrol-Destek Anketi, Merhamet Ölçeği ve Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri kullanılmıştır. İş stresi, yorgunluk ve tükenmişlik ilişkisini belirlemede korelasyon analizi; meslek, cinsiyet, yaş, deneyim, zorlanma durumu ve işin zorluk derecesinin iş stresi, yorgunluk ve tükenmişlik üzerindeki etkisini belirlemede varyans analizi ve t testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda Merhamet Ölçeği ve Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği alt boyutları arasında yüksek korelasyon izlenmektedir. Özellikle duyarsızlaşma alt boyutu ile Merhamet Ölçeği alt boyutları arasındaki korelasyon yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,01). Yaş ilerledikçe (p<0,01) ve eğitim düzeyi yükseldikçe iş yükünün azaldığı (p<0,05), iş kontrolünün arttığı (p<0,01) gözlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin (p<0,01) sosyal destek gereksinimi, hekim ve yardımcı personele göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Zorlanma arttıkça iş yükü (p<0,01) ve sosyal destek gereksinimi (p<0,01) artmaktadır. Yaş ilerledikçe duygusal tükenme azalmakta (p<0,02) ve kişisel başarısızlık artmaktadır (p<0,01). Eğitim yükseldikçe duygusal tükenme artmaktadır (p<0,01).
