Research status of the interventions of compassion fatigue among oncology nurses / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Compassion fatigue is a common mental health problem experienced by rescuers.It is a phenomenon of psychological discomfort caused by the lack or excess of empathy in the implementation of relief. The main manifestation is post-traumatic stress disorder, the reduction of interest and ability of empathy, and the increase of job burnout. Oncology nurses have a higher incidence of compassion fatigue due to greater pressure caused by the complex work environment. The current interventions on the compassion fatigue of oncology nurses abroad, such as Self-Care, Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program, Mindfulness Training,Educational Intervention,arts therapies,and others,can help improve nurse's quality of service and physical and mental health.However,there is a relative lack of domestic research,and nurse researchers should carry out such studies more actively to provide a reference for the improvement of nurses' mental health situation.
