Abstract
The mean scores for compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout among 478 hospice nurses were 34.89 ± 6.21, 26.35 ± 5.24, and 24.49 ± 5.01, respectively.
- Job satisfaction, perspective-taking, empathic concern, working in tertiary hospitals, and adopting cognitive reappraisal strategy are positively associated with compassion satisfaction.
- Higher burnout levels are linked to higher personal distress, working in secondary or primary hospitals, working more than 8 hours per day, and caring for more than 10 dying patients in the last month.
- Job satisfaction, social support, perspective-taking, empathic concern, and cognitive reappraisal are significant protective factors against burnout, while higher personal distress and lack of social support are risk factors.
- Lower job satisfaction, higher personal distress, higher expressive suppression, and being a senior nurse are positively related to secondary traumatic stress, with cognitive reappraisal showing a negative association.
- The study indicates that hospice nurses may experience more work-related stressors compared to nurses in other specialties.
