“…They are seen together with the adults and youth in the general wards. Studies have shown that nurses with specialist training are better equipped to render care to patients [ 19 , 20 ]. Looking at the curriculum of most nursing schools, gerontology is usually not a stand-alone course [ 12 , 15 , 29 ] but students are expected to learn it in their medical-surgical nursing classes.…”

et al. 2022

Background and Aim Nurses perception and attitude towards an older patient can positively or negatively influence the quality rendered. As students under training, the views of this population needs to be sought and shaped to improve the quality of care the older patients receive. This is because life expectancy is on the rise. The study aimed to explore students’ perception of ageing and their attitude towards care of the older adults. Methods and materials An exploratory descriptive design was used. Data form containing the sociodemographic attributes of the students and a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers in line with the literature. The participants interviewed were student nurses who had been in clinical practice for at least one semester. Four focus group discussions (FGD) were held. Results Average age of the participants was 22.30 years. An equal number of males and females (15 each) were recruited to have a balance in gender. Students expressed that they saw the older adults as their grandparents so they try to accord them respect and care. However, older adults are perceived not receptive to nurses in training. The students stated that registered nurses neglected the basic care of older adults such as diaper changes, bathing, and feeding, and would rather beckon student nurses to attend to the older adults. Conclusion Gerontology as a stand-alone course is necessary for early years of training to give an in-depth education to nursing students and instil a positive attitude towards older adult patients.

“…Murray (2019) reported 49.1% moderate CF and 22.4% high CF. Maila et al (2020) reported moderate to high risk of CF across all nursing staff; with moderate CS, BO and high STS. However, there was a high risk of CF in registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) with higher STS, BO and lower CS, and a lower risk of CF in enrolled nurses (EN) and assistants in nursing (AIN) with significantly higher CS scores (Maila et al, 2020).…”

Psychiatric Ment Health Nurs

What is known on the subject?• Compassion fatigue is the result of the unique stressors inherent in caregiving work, leading to a loss of compassion in clinical practice that may result in negative outcomes for mental healthcare consumers.• Compassion fatigue has clear emotional and physical costs and significant impacts on staff recruitment and retention. What the paper adds to existing knowledge?• This review is the first to evaluate the quantitative literature on compassion fatigue in mental health nurses.• Research on compassion fatigue in mental health nurses does not accurately account for the unique care relationship between nurse and consumer.• Competency-based education, strong mental health nurse leadership, positive organizational cultures, clinical supervision and reflection alongside individual self-care strategies may mitigate compassion fatigue.

“…Las definiciones de agotamiento con mayor frecuencia apuntan a estresores ambientales, mientras que las definiciones de fatiga por compasión abordan la naturaleza relacional de la condición. Además, el agotamiento se asocia con sentimientos de desesperanza y apatía y crea una incapacidad para desempeñar sus tareas de manera efectiva (Mashego, 2016;Maila, Martin & Chipps, 2020); en cambio, la fatiga por compasión está más vinculada a la empatía (Hidalgo, Martínez & Carrasco, 2018). El agotamiento y la fatiga por compasión pueden convertirse en cargas abrumadoras en enfermeras/ os, y causar problemas físicos, mentales y emocionales, al igual que dificultades en la salud (Hunsaker, 2015).…”

Calidad de vida relacionada a la compasión, burnout y sobrecarga del cuidador en enfermeras/os bolivianos

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Las/os enfermeras/os desarrollan una actividad laboral centrada en el cuidado de los otros. Esta labor es fuente de satisfacción, pero también ha implicado niveles importantes de fatiga y deterioro en su calidad de vida. El propósito del presente estudio fue establecer los predictores de calidad de vida relacionada a la compasión en enfermeras/os de hospitales públicos de La Paz y El Alto, Bolivia. Para ello se consideraron como predictores la sobrecarga del cuidador, el burnout y características sociolaborales. Participaron 500 enfermeras/os de cuatro hospitales, de los cuales 82,4 % fueron mujeres, con un rango de edad de entre 21 y 61 años. Se utilizó un diseño no-experimental de tipo descriptivo y correlacional, y de corte transversal. Se encontró que el factor de burnout de agotamiento emocional, la sobrecarga del cuidador y el hecho de tener hijos predicen negativamente la calidad de vida relacionada a la compasión. Además, se observó una correlación negativa del agotamiento emocional con la edad y los años de experiencia laboral. Se discute sobre la necesidad de otorgar mejores condiciones laborales que alivien el desgaste, faciliten la interacción trabajo-familia y promuevan una mejor calidad de vida en enfermeras/os.
