Summary
<p>Objective: Compassion fatigue is the emotional withdrawal from the patient due to the intense physical and emotional strength exerted on suffering individuals. This study aims to determine compassion fatigue and affecting factors in nurses working in the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 76 nurses working in the cardiovascular surgery intensive care units of five hospitals of a private health group in Istanbul and a university hospital in Izmir. The data were collected between April and July 2016 by using sociodemographic data and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Results: The score that nurses obtained from Compassion Fatigue sub-dimension ranged between 0 to 38 and the mean value was determined to be 16.86±8.54. There was no statistically significant difference between compassion fatigue scores according to nurses’ age, gender, marital status, education level, having children, working time, the average number of patients in a shift and loving the job (p>0,05). The compassion fatigue sub-dimension scores of nurses who received irregular vocational training were found to be statistically significantly higher than nurses who received regular vocational training (p:0,025; p<0,05).<br></p>
