Compassion satisfaction is a positive emotion experienced as a result of helping others and is connected to nurses' self-care. Self-care is the daily activities that an individual engages in to meet basic physiological and emotional needs, including establishing daily routines, relationships with family, and the environment. A preliminary study discovered that seventeen nurses engaged in self-care activities before or following the COVID-19 pandemic, with 76.5 percent of nurses expressing satisfaction with their jobs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-care practices and nurses' compassion satisfaction in Indonesia. This quantitative correlation study collected 397 samples through accidental sampling using an online survey. The instruments used were the Indonesian version of the compassion satisfaction scale derived from the Professional Quality of Life Scale (Cronbach alpha 0,795) and the Clinical Version of the Mindful Self-Care Scale (Cronbach alpha 0,966). Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review board. The rank spearman correlation was used to analyze the data, indicating a positive correlation between self-care practices and compassion satisfaction (p = 0.0001; r = 0.634). Nurses' compassion satisfaction is increased through self-care. Assessment of workload and practicing self-care are encouraged to help increase nurses' compassion satisfaction, specifically during pandemic COVID-19.
