Compassion Fatigue in Anesthesia Employees
Öz
Objective: In this study, it is aimed to examine the compassion fatigue on anesthesia workers based on the relationship between patients and anesthesia workers.
Method: The research was carried out with 185 anesthesia workers working in 4 different university hospitals in 3 different provinces (Kocaeli, İzmir, Konya) located in 3 different regions (Marmara, Aegean, Central Anatolia) in Turkey. Compassion Fatigue Short Scale developed by Adams et al. was used in the study. Since the obtained data are suitable for normal distribution, t test was used to compare paired groups and Anova test was used to compare more than two groups.
Results: Considering the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, it is observed that 56.2% of the participants are women, 49.2% are associate degree graduates, 55.1% are married, and 80.5% are assistant anesthesia health workers. In addition, it is seen that 47.0% of them are between the ages of 28-33, 74.6% of them have a working year between 1-2 years and 51.4% of them work in Konya.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, moderate (67,24) compassion fatigue was found in anesthesia workers. In addition, a significant difference was found between the staff status of the participants, the status of being on duty, the province they worked in, the title and the number of weekly operations, and compassion fatigue. In terms of gender, a significant difference was obtained only with the secondary trauma dimension.
