Amaç: Çalışma, cerrahi kliniklerinde çalışan hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunluğu ile yaşam kaliteleri arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamak amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı kesitsel türdedir. Türkiye’nin batı bölgesinde üniversite hastanelerinde görev yapmakta olan cerrahi hemşirelerine araştırma grubunun da kayıtlı olduğu Whatsapp grupları aracılığı ile ulaşıldı. Araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 216 cerrahi hemşiresi ile çalışma tamamlandı. Veriler, google form kullanılarak çevrimiçi anket yoluyla toplandı. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, Merhamet Yorgunluğu Ölçeği ve SF-12 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanıldı. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Student t testi, one way ANOVA ve Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Hemşirelerin Merhamet Yorgunluğu Ölçeği toplam puanı 65.37±25.00, İkincil Travma alt boyut puan ortalaması 23.66±10.56 ve Mesleki Tükenmişlik alt boyut puan ortalaması 41.71±15.98 olarak bulundu. SF-12-Fiziksel Özet skor puanı 41.74±5.29 ve Mental Özet skor puanı 38.01±5.01 olarak saptandı. Merhamet Yorgunluğu Ölçeği toplam puanı ve alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönlü yüksek düzey ilişki bulunurken, SF-12 alt boyutları ve Merhamet Yorgunluğu ölçeği toplam puan ve alt boyutları arasında negatif yönlü düşük düzey ilişki belirlendi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Cerrahi alanlarda görev yapan hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunluğu orta düzeyde bulunurken, yaşam kalitelerinin düşük olduğu saptandı. Ayrıca; araştırma bulguları hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunlukları arttıkça yaşam kalitelerinin düştüğünü gösterdi.

The Relationship between Compassion Fatigue and Quality of Life in Surgical Nurses

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between compassion fatigue and quality of life of nurses working in surgical clinics.
Materials and Methods: The study is of a descriptive cross-sectional type. Surgical nurses working in university hospitals in the western part of Turkey were reached via WhatsApp groups, in which the research team is also registered. The study was completed with 216 surgical nurses who agreed to participate in the research. An online questionnaire was sent to the participants to collect data. The data collection tools used were the personal information form, SF-12 Quality of Life Scale, and Compassion Fatigue Scale. Descriptive statistics, Student t test, one- way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for data evaluation.
Results: The nurses' Compassion Fatigue Scale total score was 65.37±25.00. The sub-dimension mean scores were as follows: Secondary Trauma was 23.66±10.56, and Professional Burnout was 41.71±15.98. The SF-12 Physical Component Summary score was 41.74±5.29, and the Mental Component Summary score was 38.01±5.01. There was a high level of positive relationship between the Compassion Fatigue Scale total score and its sub-dimensions, while a negative low-level correlation was observed between the SF-12 sub-dimensions and the Compassion Fatigue Scale total score and sub-dimensions (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In line with the research findings, it was concluded that while the compassion fatigue of surgical nurses was found to be at an average level, their quality of life was found to be low. Thus, the study findings indicate that as surgical nurses' compassion fatigue increased, their life quality decreased.
