Compassion is an important and valuable emotion, which keeps people together under the turbulent and painful times. Beyond empathy and respect, the emotion of compassion accepts the individual solely and specially. Compassion fatigue is a risk for the nursing profession, which involves developing empathy during the care of the individual and his/her family. Compassion fatigue is related to depersonalization and insufficiency. Basing on actually he/ping or willing to help a suffering person, compassion fatigue reveals itself through the development of deep empathy and sadness. The antecedents of compassion fatigue are caregiver's exposure to the pain, continuous and intense contact with the patient, experiencing high levels of stress, and highly devoting herself-himself for someone else. The symptoms of compassion fatigue arise in acute manner, and they cause to job dissatisfaction and stress driven symptoms. The nursing profession is one the professions that experience compassion fatigue intensely, and it comes into the picture asa cost of providing intense care to the patients in pain. Managerial and individua/ attempts must be planned in order to prevent compassion fatigue

HEMŞİRENİN HİSSİ TARAFI: ŞEFKAT YORGUNLUGU

Öz

Şefkat, insanları acı duyma ya da benzeri sıkıntılı durumlarda bir arada tutan, değerli ve önemli bir duygudur. Şefkat duygusu empati ve saygının da ötesinde bireyi tek ve özel olarak kabul eder. Şefkat yorgunluğu acı çeken bireye bakım verme sırasında hemşirenin kendi duygularını kapatması, duygusal yönden uzaklaşması, çaresizlik ve öfke hissetmesi durumudur. Şefkat yorgunluğu, hasta birey ve ailesinin bakımı sırasında empati gerektiren meslek olan hemşirelik için bir risktir. Şefkat yorgunluğu duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve yetersizlik ile ilişkili bir durumdur. Şefkat yorgunluğunun öncülleri; bakım vericinin acıya maruziyeti, hasta ile sürekli ve yoğun temasta bulunması, yüksek strese maruz kalması ve bireyin kendisini iş içerisinde bir başkası için fazlaca tüketmesidir. Şefkat yorgunluğunun belirtileri akut olarak ortaya çıkar ve strese bağlı belirtilere ve iş memnuniyetsizliğine neden olur. Hemşirelik mesleği şefkat yorgunluğunun en ağır yaşandığı meslek olup acı çeken bireylere bakım vermenin bedeli olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Şefkat yorgunluğunu önlemeye yönelik yönetimsel ve bireysel girişimler planlanmalıdır.
