“…Nurses who experience a high degree of compassion satisfaction in their work perceive a more positive working environment, which contributes to the reduction of burnout. On the contrary, those experiencing a high degree of compassion fatigue perceive a more negative working environment thus experimenting a higher degree of burnout [63]. Moreover, recent research has shown that optimism, hardy personality or emotional competence are factors that protect the individual against burnout.…”

“…This may affect the importance that each culture gives to the factors involved in the onset of the syndrome and their interpretation, limiting the generalization of the results to developing countries. Added to this, despite the similarity of factors that have been related to nurses' burnout by researchers in Europe, the United States [63] or Australia [90], it may occur that the distinct cultural differences, social politics or economic conditions among them may affect the attention given to the specific ones influencing burnout in nurses.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify potentially important factors in explaining burnout in nursing that have been insufficiently studied or ignored.MethodsA three-round Delphi study via e-mail correspondence was conducted, with a group of 40 European experts. The e-Delphi questionnaire consisted of 52 factors identified from a literature review. Experts rated and scored the importance of factors in the occurrence of burnout and the degree of attention given by researchers to each of the variables listed, on a six-point Likert scale. We used the agreement percentage (>80%) to measure the level of consensus between experts. Furthermore, to confirm the level of consensus, we also calculated mean scores and modes. Regardless of the degree of consensus reached by the experts, we have calculated the mean of the stability of the answers for each expert (individual's qualitative stability) and the mean of the stability percentages of the experts (qualitative group stability).ResultsThe response rate in the three rounds was 93.02% (n = 40). Eight new factors were suggested in the first round. After modified, the e-Delphi questionnaire in the second and third rounds had 60 factors. All the factors reached the third round with a consensus level above 80% in terms of the attention that researchers gave them in their studies. Moreover, the data show a total mean qualitative group stability of 96.21%. In the third round 9 factors were classified by experts as ‘studied very little’, 17 as ‘studied little’ and 34 as 'well studied'ConclusionFindings show that not all the factors that may influence nursing burnout have received the same attention from researchers. The panel of experts has identified factors that, although important in explaining burnout, have been poorly studied or even forgotten. Our results suggest that further study into factors such as a lack of recognition of part of the tasks that nurses perform, feminine stereotype or excessive bureaucracy is needed for a better understanding of this syndrome and improve the quality of life in nurses.

“…Previous studies reported that higher managerial support was associated with higher compassion satisfaction (Hunsaker, Chen, Maughan, & Heaston, ) and that authentic leadership related to compassion satisfaction (Kelly & Todd, ). In addition, a previous study reported that cohesive teamwork environments predicted compassion satisfaction (Wu, Singh‐Carlson, Odell, Reynolds, & Su, ). However, there is no research on the relationship between nursing work environments and compassion satisfaction considered various factors within the environments such as staffing, resources and nurse participation in hospital affairs.…”

Aim This study investigated the association between nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction among clinical nurses. Background Nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction are important factors for preventing burnout and decreasing clinical nurse turnover. Method This study used a secondary analysis and obtained data from a previous cross‐sectional study. Results The mean scores (mean ± SD) for the nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction were 2.54 ± 0.34 and 33.40 ± 6.69, respectively. As the results of hierarchical regression, staffing and resources (β = 0.175, p = .002) and collegial nurse–physician relationships (β = 0.103, p = .038) were significantly associated with compassion satisfaction. Conclusion Improving the nursing work environment could be an effective way to boost compassion satisfaction among nurses. Therefore, organizational support for adequate human resources and materials and mutual relations among nurses and physicians are needed. Implications for nursing management Improvements to the work environment and the management of human resource may increase compassion satisfaction in clinical nurses.

“…The rates of burnout and compassion fatigue are increasing among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the US and other developed countries (Banerjee et al, ; Gomez‐Urquiza et al, ; Shanafelt et al, ; Wu, Singh‐Carlson, Odell, Reynolds, & Su, ). Burnout and compassion fatigue directly affect the health of the clinician and research shows that clinician well‐being has a direct impact on patient health outcomes (Salyers et al, ).…”

Aims To synthesize evidence about the effectiveness of expressive arts interventions used to reduce psychosocial stress among healthcare workers. Design Quantitative systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines. Data Sources SocINDEX, PsycINFO, Pubmed, CINAHL. Review Methods Databases were searched from 1997–2017. Fourteen studies met the criteria for final selection. Results Most studies occurred in the US (N = 11). Of the 897 participants, 59% were nurses. Two studies were randomized controlled trials and the others were a variation of a 1‐group or 2‐group pre‐ or quasi‐experimental study. The intervention characteristics included 50% art‐based, 29% music‐based, and 21% used storytelling or narrative. The length of intervention varied from 1 hr to 13 weeks; 5 lasted 6 weeks. Improved outcomes were found in 13 of 14 studies reviewed and the greatest improvements were seen in burnout, stress, and emotional outcomes. Overall, music and art‐based interventions had greater impact on well‐being than storytelling or narrative. Conclusions This systematic review provides preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of expressive arts interventions. Impact Care for others is a preeminent value in health care; however, this can come at the expense of caring for oneself. Psychosocial stress poses a significant threat to the well‐being of the healthcare workforce. Expressive arts interventions provide a creative means for reducing caregiver stress to remain well and able to provide high quality care to patients. The use of arts for healing has global application because expressive arts intervention can be culturally tailored and relevant.
