Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationships between nurses' compassion fatigue, job stress and life satisfaction. Materials and Methods: The study population of the research consists of all nurses working in health institutions other than family medicine units in Adana and Mersin. The created online form was distributed to the nurses working in Adana and Mersin in line with the networks of the researchers, and the reached nurses were asked to forward the questionnaire to their own contacts. The sample was obtained by using purposeful, convenience and snowball sampling methods together. The research was carried out with 305 nurses. Compassion Fatigue, Life Satisfaction and Job Stress scales were used in the study. In line with the data obtained, independent groups t-test, one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis were performed. Findings: A statistically significant, negative, and weak relationship between life satisfaction and job stress; a positive moderate relationship between compassion fatigue and job stress, and a negative and moderate relationship between compassion fatigue and life satisfaction have been determined. Conclusion: Both compassion fatigue and job stress affect nurses' life satisfaction. In this context, it is recommended to take measures to prevent work stress and compassion fatigue in order to increase life satisfaction.

Özet

Amaç: Hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunluğu, iş stresi ve yaşam doyumu durumu arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini Adana ve Mersin ilinde yer alan aile hekimliği birimleri dışındaki sağlık kurumlarında çalışan tüm hemşireler oluşturmaktadır. Oluşturulan çevrimiçi form araştırmacıların bağlantıları doğrultusunda Adana ve Mersin’de görev alan hemşirelere dağıtılmış, ulaşılan hemşirelerden anket formunu kendi bağlantılarına da iletmeleri istenmiştir. Bu kapsamda örneklem amaçlı, kolayda ve kartopu örnekleme yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanılmasıyla elde edilmiştir. Araştırma 305 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada Merhamet Yorgunluğu, Yaşam Doyumu ve İş Stresi ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda bağımsız gruplarda t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaşam doyumu ile iş stresi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, negatif yönlü zayıf bir ilişki; merhamet yorgunluğu ile iş stresi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki; merhamet yorgunluğu ile yaşam doyumu arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, negatif yönlü ve orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Hem merhamet yorgunluğu hem de iş stresinin hemşirelerin yaşam doyumları ile ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Bu çerçevede iş stresini ve merhamet yorgunluğunu önleyici tedbirlerin alınması önerilmektedir
