The aim of this study is to determine the effect of compassion fatigue
on employees and to determine the relationship between motivation levels and
job satisfaction. The population of the study consisted of 410 healthcare
professionals working in public and foundation Training and Research Hospital
in Istanbul between March and May 2019. The study is comparative and
descriptive, and questionnaires were collected by face-to-face interview method
with "Introductory Information Form", "Compassion Fatigue
Scale", "Job Satisfaction Scale", "Motivation Scale".
In statistical analysis; Correlation analysis method was used to determine the
relationship between descriptive tests and variables, and regression analysis
method was used to determine the effect degree of variables. The level of
significance in differences and relationships was accepted as p <0.05. In
the study, the total score of Compassion Fatigue Scale was 3.08 ± 0.37, the
total score of Motivation Scale was 3.36 ± 0.65 and the Job Satisfaction Scale
was 3.23 ± 0.73 points. No statistically significant relationship was found
between the Compassion Fatigue Scale and the Motivation Scale and Job
Satisfaction Scale (p <0.05). It was determined that there was a
statistically significant difference between the levels of compassion fatigue
and the education level and total working time of healthcare professionals (p
<0.05). The wage factor is a major factor in the development of compassion fatigue.
While problems such as high patient demand in public hospitals and unfair
approaches in promotion systems come to the forefront, in private hospitals,
busy working hours and low wages for healthcare workers pose a big problem.
