Brief Summary

This study aimed to conduct a short- and long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program and compare its impact on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress and resilience. The research was conducted between January 2017 and January 2019 as a randomized controlled trial. The sample comprised 125 oncology-hematology nurses randomly assigned to a Experimental I (short-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program), Experimental II (long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program) or control group. Data was collected using Personal Information Form, Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQOL-IV), Perceived Stress Scale, and Resilience Scale for Adults. Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test and at three-, six- and twelve-month follow-ups. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multilevel models.

Keywords

Oncology-hematology nurses; compassion fatigue; burnout; compassion satisfaction; perceived stress; resilience

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQoL), "change" is being assessed.

  Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQoL): It is a self-reporting instrument consisting of thirty items and three subscales: Compassion Fatigue (CF), Sompassion Satisfaction (CS), and burnout. The scale has no total score. Each subscale is evaluated separately. * Scores above 17 indicate high CF levels while scores below 8 indicate low, * Scores below 18 indicate low burnout levels while scores above 27 indicate high * Scores above 42 indicate high CS levels while those below 33 indicate low

  Change from Baseline up to 1 year

• Perceived Stress Scale, "change" is being assessed.

  Perceived Stress Scale: The lowest possible score is 0 and the highest is 40. A high total score is considered a high level of perceived stress.

  Change from Baseline up to 1 year

• Resilience Scale for Adults, "change" is being assessed.

  Resilience Scale for Adults: a lowest possible score of 33 and a highest of 165. A high total score is considered a high level of resilience.

  Change from Baseline up to 1 year

Study Arms (3)

Short-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental I received a short-term program (five hours per day for two days, ten hours in total).

Behavioral: Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program (CFRP)

Long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental II received a long-term program (five weeks, two hours per week, ten hours in total).

Behavioral: Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program (CFRP)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention was applied to the control group.

Interventions

Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program (CFRP) BEHAVIORAL

The purpose of Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program (CFRP) is to provide oncology-hematology nurses with knowledge and skills that will increase their level of resilience by helping them recognize compassion fatigue, cope with its consequences and work effectively.
