ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study was conducted to present the levels of self-compassion, active coping, passive coping, and compassion fatigue and satisfaction, and explore the influence of self-compassion, active coping, and passive coping on compassion fatigue and satisfaction among nurses working at veterans’ hospitals. Methods: A correlational study design was used. The respondents were 148 staff nurses who had worked for more than a year in the general ward of four veterans’ hospitals in Korea. Data were collected from March to April 2019 via a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The respondents’ mean age was 31.49±6.85 and clinical experience 8.82±6.67 years. While compassion fatigue was significantly higher in nurses having veterans in the family (t=-2.59, p=.010), compassion satisfaction was significantly higher in those aged 41 and above (F=4.18, p=.018), married (t=-2.38, p=.018), having a higher monthly income (t=-2.59, p=.010), and having a hobby (t=-3.34, p=.001). There was a significant relationship between compassion fatigue and satisfaction (r=.21, p=.010). Regression analysis showed that the compassion fatigue score was higher when nurses had veterans in the family(β=.21, t=2.68, p=.008), with a 4.8% explained variance. Nurses engaging in more active coping (β=.34, t=3.70, p<.001) and less passive coping (β=-.24, t=-2.89, p=.004), and having a hobby (β=.19, t=2.50, p=.013) reported higher levels of compassion satisfaction. Conclusion: More active coping and less passive coping impacted compassion satis�faction significantly. Thus, there is a need to provide support to nurses so that they can utilize effective ways of coping with stress to improve their compassion satisfaction.
