Abstract
Psychological factors explained 26% of compassion satisfaction, 29% of burnout, and 18% of compassion fatigue in oncology nurses.
- Higher levels of compassion satisfaction are associated with greater empathy and the ability to understand others' perspectives.
- Nurses with higher compassion satisfaction are less affected by negative emotions related to witnessing others' suffering.
- Increased self-compassion is linked to higher compassion satisfaction in nurses.
- Burnout and compassion fatigue are more prevalent among self-judgmental nurses with psychological inflexibility.
- Nurses experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue report more personal distress when observing suffering and lower levels of empathy.
