PURPOSE@#This study aimed to identify the influence of
job stress,
compassion satisfaction, and
resilience on
depression of
nurses.@*
METHODS@#One hundred seventy six
nurses working at one
tertiary hospital in one metropolitan city were included. The
data collection was conducted from September 1st to October 1st, 2018, using a structured,
self-reported
questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics, t-test, one-way
ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.@*RESULTS@#The M±SD age of 170 subjects was 29.62±5.59.
Depression had significant negative correlations with
compassion satisfaction (r=−.50, p < .001) and
resilience (r=−.56, p < .001), and a positive correlation with
job stress (r=.42, p < .001). In the multiple
regression analysis,
marital status (β=−.15, p=.015),
job stress (β=−.00, p < .001) and
resilience (β=−5.47, p < .001) had a significant effect on
depression. The explanatory
power of the subject's
marital status,
leisure life,
job stress,
compassion satisfaction, and
resilience on
depression was 44.1% (F=27.62, p < .001).@*CONCLUSION@#The study results showed that single status, low
job stress, high
resilience may decrease
depression of
nurses. Reducing
job stress and improving
resilience of
nurses will virtually contribute to reduce their
depression that can influence on not only
nurses'
health status but also their performance and qualitative
caring for
patients.
