Studies on workplace spirituality and health care workers' professional quality of life (ProQoL) have been expanding in recent years. Workplace spirituality within the health care system embodies one's efforts to pursue a meaningful and purposeful life; develop healthy relationships among colleagues, clients and families; and maintain coherent individual and organisational beliefs and values (Baldacchino, 2017).

ProQoL is the emotional perception that each individual has of

BackgroundPrevention and management of compassion fatigue (CF) is one of the most serious issues facing the nursing profession today because CF is a complex phenomenon with many negative and destructive consequences. Given that cultural, religious, and socioeconomic differences can affect nurses’ perception about preventive strategies of CF; this study was conducted to obtain greater understanding about prevention and management strategies of CF among Iranian nurses. MethodsInductive content analysis study was conducted by the method proposed by Elo and Kyngäs. It includes three steps of open coding, creating classes and abstracting it. Purposive sampling was used to select the nurses in Tehran and Kashan (two cities in the center of Iran). Data was gathered by semi-structured interviews from June to October 2020. ResultsThe following two main themes, 5 categories and 13 subcategories were extracted. The labels of themes included "self-care strategies" and "social support strategies ". Self-care strategies consisted of 2 main categories of problem-based strategies and escape/ avoidance strategies. Social support strategies included 3 main categories of family support, organizational support and community support. ConclusionThe results showed that Iranian nurses use self-care strategies and social support strategies to prevent and manage CF; nevertheless, it seemed social support strategies outweighed self-care strategies. As a result, in addition to the importance of family and organizational support, the governmental support is also noticeable, thus, appropriate policy- making and culture-building activities to promote nursing dignity are necessary.

Nurses play a major role in providing care in Intensive Care units (ICUs) as members of interprofessional teams, where the care they provide is more complex than that provided elsewhere in the hospital. ICU nurses must respond regularly to high demands to fulfil the many roles that are assigned to them. They work in the ICUs as caregivers, health educators, researchers and unit managers (Aitken et al., 2019). Working in an area that requires such complex multitasking with a heavy workload and the need to provide specialized care for critically ill and highly reliant patients can be overwhelming for nurses. Consequently, occupational burnout may result from the high level of stress involved, which can lead to low job satisfaction and high turnover (Alharbi & Alshehry, 2019). This scoping review
