Results: Nurses in children's hospital experienced a greater than moderate degree of job stress, compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue and burnout, whereas differences existed according to general characteristics. Job stress, compassion fatigue and burnout showed a significant positive correlation and results of compassion fatigue and burnout were similar. Also, job stress, compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue were associated with burnout in nurses working in children's hospital.

사회복지사는 클라이언트의 고통을 공감하고 고통 속에 있는 클라이언트를 걱정하며 그 고통을 덜어주기 위해 노력한다. 이를 연민(compassion)이라고 하며 연민은 효과적인 사회복지실천을 위한 필수 요소이다. 연민은 사회복지사에게 스트레스와 같은 부정적 결과를 주기도 하고 만족감 같은 긍정적 결과를 제공하기도 한다. 긍정적 결과를 연민만족, 부정적 결과를 연민피로라고 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 연민만족과 연민피로를 측정하기 위해 개발된 한국어판 ProQOL을 평가한 다음, 사회복지사의 연민만족도와 연민피로도를 파악하고, 연민만족도와 연민피로도를 조합하여 사회복지사들을 군집으로 분류하는데 있다. 본 연구에는 수도권에서 활동하는 사회복지사 284명이 참여하였다. 확인적 요인분석 결과 한국어판 ProQOL은 기존 연구결과와 마찬가지로 2요인으로 구성되었고 신뢰도와 타당도 또한 양호하여 사회복지사의 연민만족과 연민피로를 측정하기에 적합한 도구로 판명되었다. 본 연구에 참여한 사회복지사의 연민만족도는 보통 이상 수준이었고 연민피로도는 보통 이하 수준이었다. 연령이 상대적으로 많고 학력이 높고, 경력이 많거나, 또는 직급이 높은 사회복지사의 연민만족도가 높았다. 군집분석 결과, 본 연구에 참여한 사회복지사들은 3개 군집으로 나누어졌다. 군집1은 연민만족은 중간수준이고 연민피로는 가장 낮은 군집이었고, 군집2는 연민만족도는 가장 낮았고 연민피로도는 중간수준이었으며, 군집3은 연민만족도와 연민피로도 모두 가장 높은 수준이었다.

Measurement instruments included the Korean version of the Practice Environment Scale of Nursing Work Index (K-PES-NWI) and Stamm's professional quality of life (ProQOL). Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results: Nursing practice environment had moderate negative influence on burnout (r=-.38, p<.001). Compassion fatigue had strong positive influence on burnout (r=.50, p<.001), while compassion satisfaction had strong negative influence on burnout (r=-.61, p<.001). The regression model explained 63% of variance of burnout and the compassion satisfaction was the most influencing factor for nurses' burnout. Conclusion: This study identified nursing practice environment, compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction as influencing factors for nurses' burnout. Strategies to decrease compassion fatigue, enhance compassion satisfaction and create better nursing practice environment are recommended to decrease nurses' burnout.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the effects of Type D personality on compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and job stress in clinical nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 172 clinical nurses working in two tertiary hospitals. The structured questionnaires included Type D personality scale, compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and job stress scales. Results: About 79.7% of participants were classified as Type D personality group. The Type D personality was not related to general characteristics of clinical nurses. The Type D personality group showed statistically significant higher compassion fatigue, burnout, and job stress and lower compassion satisfaction compared to the non-Type D personality group. In addition, compassion fatigue and burnout were positively correlated with job stress and compassion fatigue was positively correlated with burnout. However, compassion satisfaction was negatively correlated with burnout. Conclusion: As the prevalence of Type D personality is high in clinical nurses, it is necessary to assess stress-related personality. In addition, management for the nurse with Type D personality is required to alleviate compassion fatigue, burnout, and job stress and to improve compassion satisfaction.

Purpose: This was a descriptive correlation study to identify emergency room (ER) nurses' coping types and factors affecting compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue. Methods: During March and April 2013, 170 questionnaires were distributed to ER nurses working in general hospitals in D and C regions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. Results: Compassion fatigue was most strongly affected by emotional expression for burnout and by practical support pursuit for secondary traumatic stress. Positive coping, emotional expression, position, positive reinterpretation, and self-blame explained 42% of CS. Conclusion: Results indicate that nurses with moderate levels of career had high compassion fatigue and low compassion satisfaction. Thus these nurses need to be given an opportunity to achieve self-development and improve their ability as nurses; interventions that can reinforce positive coping strategies should be provided as personal coping strategies affect compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction.
