“…In that concept analysis, CF are STS are stated to be interchangeable terms citing agreement between Joinson and Figley, yet each is given its own conceptual definition and critical attributes. The final concept analysis that the literature cites is by Peters and focuses on CF and how it is similar to and different from burnout, STS, and VT (see Table in the Appendix).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to provide conceptual clarification of secondary traumatic stress (STS) in nurses.Background: As an empathetic helping profession, nurses are at increased risk for STS. Interchangeable usage of related terms among multidisciplinary literature has resulted in lack of conceptual clarity resulting in conflation of terms. Conceptual clarity is necessary for a foundation for further research on treatment.Methods: Rodgers' evolutionary model of concept analysis.Results: Nurses are predisposed to STS due to exposure, empathy, bonding, and personal factors. Essential attributes were found to be posttraumatic stress disorderlike symptoms, biological symptoms, social symptoms, and psychological symptoms.Resultant consequences included an altered worldview, interpersonal difficulties, and decreased occupational commitment.Conclusion: This concept analysis, the first focusing on STS, provides conceptual clarity and a concept map of STS within the nursing population.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine in depth the senses of hope and belonging in patients with schizophrenia and factors which affect these. Design and Methods:The data were collected through the phenomenological interview method and interpreted using Strauss and Corbin's approach to qualitative data analysis.Findings: Patients with schizophrenia reported that having hope and feeling a sense of belonging were very important to them and patients with the same diagnosis, and that being accepted by society, being employed and being productive increased their senses of both hope and belonging.Practice Implications: For the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia, which is a chronic disease, psychiatric nurses should carry out activities which increase their senses of hope and belonging.

“…Despite these perceived failings and poor practices, many nurses have adopted a stoic approach and continue to tolerate working under immense pressure, often in conflicting and stressful environments. This situation, if allowed to continue, ultimately leads to burn out (Haik et al, 2017) and 'compassion fatigue' -which occurs as a result of the nurses' decreasing capacity to express empathy due to continual exposure to the suffering of others (Peters, 2018).…”

The nursing profession is being threatened by staff shortages. Catherine Best explains why building resilience from within the profession is vital to safeguarding its future, by keeping newly qualified nurses in the job and preventing emotional ‘burnout’ across disciplines Resilience in nursing has been critiqued and challenged throughout the nursing literature. Trends in nursing have led to many nurses leaving the profession early in their career, often due to the immense pressures that they work under. There are many opinions on how nurses can develop the resilience needed to maintain professional integrity and continue to provide safe and effective care, while attempting to shoulder the considerable impact of political and professional drivers. This not only leaves nurses exhausted but often without hope. By taking collective action, this article argues that nurses may benefit from sharing ideas and learning from others, and in so doing rekindle hope and a belief that things can change.
