“…54 Also, the findings were similar to those of a Turkish study that reported a substantial difference in anxiety levels between nurses and family members with COVID-19. 55 Despite the study's significant findings, a few limitations should be considered. The study is cross-sectional, therefore it does not account for the direct impact of stress on resilience.…”

The coronavirus infection COVID-19 has been a risk to world health, particularly for individuals who are vulnerable to it. Critical care nurses have described experiencing extremely high levels of stress under these struggling conditions. This study aimed to assess the relationship between stress and resilience of intensive care unit nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 227 nurses who are working in the intensive care units in the West Bank hospitals, Palestine. Data collection utilized the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS). Two hundred twenty-seven intensive care nurses completed the questionnaire; (61.2%) were males, and (81.5%) had documented COVID-19 infection among their friends, family, or coworkers. Most intensive care nurses reported high levels of stress (105.9 ± 11.9), but low levels of resilience (11.0 ± 4.3). There was a moderate negative correlation between nurses’ stress and their resilience ( P < .05) and a small to moderate negative correlation between nurses’ stress sub-scales and resilience ( P < .05). Also, the results revealed a statistically significant difference between the stress score mean and the nurses who had documented COVID-19 infection among their friends, family, or coworkers ( P < .05), and between the resilience mean score and the nurses’ gender ( P < .05). During the COVID-19 outbreak, intensive care nurses’ stress levels were high, and their resilience was low. Thus, controlling nurses’ stress levels and identifying possible stress sources related to the COVID-19 pandemic are important to maintain patients’ safety and improve the quality of care.

“…Nurses are at the forefront of this process. Depending on the situation, nurses provide compassionate care, experience patients’ pain and trauma, and empathize with them; this can lead to compassion fatigue (CF) ( Uslu, 2020 ). As a result of compassion fatigue, nurses experience symptoms of physical, emotional or spiritual, and social exhaustion ( Şirin & Yurttaş, 2015 ).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive study is to determine the relationship between nurses’ compassion level and emotional intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from a sample of 218 nurses who volunteered to participate. Data were collected using the descriptive information form, the compassion scale (CS), and the revised Schutte emotional intelligence scale (RSEIS). Findings: The nurses’ total CS score was 97.51 ± 1, and their total RSEIS score was 152.1 ± 14.8. In our study, a moderate, positive, and significant relationship was found between nurses’ compassion level and emotional intelligence levels. Conclusions: It was determined that nurses within the scope of the study had a high level of compassion and a medium–high level of emotional intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic process. Initiatives should be planned to develop emotional intelligence, which helps to minimize the negative effects of the pandemic on nurses and prevent negative emotions.

AimThis study aimed to investigate the relationships among factors affecting compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in Japanese nurses, focusing on self‐compassion, fears of compassion, and attachment styles.MethodsThis cross‐sectional observational study enrolled 400 clinical nurses (aged ≥20 years) in Japan, registered with an online survey company, from June 6 to June 26, 2021. The subjects completed a web‐based questionnaire that assessed compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, self‐compassion, fears of compassion for self, anxiety, and avoidance. Additionally, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis and path analysis were performed to examine the relationships among the influencing factors.ResultsCompassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress was influenced by anxiety and fears of compassion for self (R2 = .31). Burnout was affected by compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress, compassion satisfaction, self‐compassion, anxiety, and avoidance (R2 = .63). Compassion satisfaction was impacted by self‐compassion, anxiety, and fears of compassion for self (R2 = .31). Additionally, self‐compassion (R2 = .28) and fears of compassion for self (R2 = .55) were influenced by anxiety and avoidance.ConclusionsCompassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress leads to burnout, whereas compassion satisfaction moderates burnout. Furthermore, there were associations among the factors leading to compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress and burnout and compassion satisfaction. Therefore, an approach that enhances self‐compassion and promotes the development of a stable attachment style could mitigate compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress and fears of compassion for self while moderately maintaining and improving compassion satisfaction.
