“…We can make a few suggestions here. For example, to partially improve CS, sleep enhancing practices should be promoted among nurses, such as less caffeine intake, night shifts to be scheduled in a reasonable pattern, cutting night shifts into shorter durations, offering nurses official sleeping naps during night shifts [44], establishment of a supportive climate within the unit, providing physical exercise services and a nice eating healthy facilities within the hospital setting [47]. Children and old age day and night care services can be offered for nurses in manageable fees, in an attempt to minimize family care burdens and increase nurses available rest time.…”

Background: For oncology nurses, compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfactions are frequently experienced psychosocial consequences of the oncology work environment. Surveying such phenomena helps to understand how nurses feel and behave when cancer care is provided. Besides, tracking the evolving nature of those three concepts can lend a hand for the early detection of personal and professional suffering of nurses while offering some healing remedies to their struggling bodies and souls.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the level of compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction among a group of specialized oncology nurses. Besides, this study aimed to detect some probable interesting inferences between compassion satisfaction and the concept of rest and leisure. Correlations between compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction were investigated. Correlations between oncology nurses' scores on the three subscales and a group of demographic, organizational and leisure-related variables were examined. Methods:This study adopted a descriptive correlation design to survey compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction among a convenient sample of 100 oncology nurses who work in a specialized cancer care centre. Participants completed compassion fatigue self-test developed by Figely (Compassion fatigue, New York: Brunner/ Mazel. B. HudnallStamm, Traumatic Stress Research Group; 1995-1998. http://www.dartm outh.edu/~bhsta mm/index .htm, 1995) and a literature-based demographic survey. Analysis of data included descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation co-efficient.Results: Nurses reported a low level of compassion satisfaction, moderate risk for burn out and an extremely high risk for compassion fatigue. Results revealed significant negative relationships among compassion satisfaction and the number of dependents per nurse. Additionally the correlation between compassion satisfaction and the nurses' number of hours slept was positive. Only two components of the concept rest and leisure yielded statistical significance when correlated to the concept of compassion satisfaction. A significant negative relationship was observed between compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue while a strong positive relationship was observed between compassion fatigue and burn out. Conclusions:The studied oncology nurses sample had evidently low level of compassion satisfaction when contrasted to the significantly increased risks of burn out and compassion fatigue. Thus, health authorities and management are advised to care, in a holistic approach, for nurses who work in oncology departments. Staff-oriented services that offer comfort, reward, leisure, screening, consultation and support are urgently recommended.

“…Shift work has significantly changed nurses' sleep patterns, between 57% and 83.2% [16,17]. Poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep have an injurious effect on both the health and performance of nurses [18]. The results of this study suggest that there were significant differences in sleep quality between three different types of shift rotation, as measured by AIS.…”

“…Five of the eight factors of the OFER15 scale showed significant differences. Rotating shifts change frequently from day to night-shifts and most nurses working night-shifts struggle to adjust to daytime activities or normal night sleep patterns on their days off [18]. In this study, nurses had the best total sleep time and daytime performance on the two-shift fast rotation pattern, followed by the three-shift fast rotation and then the night-shift slow rotation patter.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the three-shift fast rotation, two-shift fast rotation and night-shift slow rotation led to any differences in fatigue and sleep quality. Method: The study was conducted as a beforeafter study and 17 nurses participated in the study. Nurses on three-shift fast rotation were allocated to the pre-group, and two-shift fast rotation and night-shift slow rotation were allocated to the post-group. In the study period, all of the subjects experienced the three patterns of rotation. Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/Recovery Scale (OFER15) and Athens Insomnia Scale were used to measure the participants' work-related fatigue and sleep quality three times. Results: Athens Insomnia Scale scores showed significant differences between the three types of shift rotation; two-shift fast rotation was 3.88±2.35, three-shift fast rotation was 8.63 ± 3.50, and night-shift slow rotation was 13.75 ± 4.23 (P < 0.05). Therefore, the nurses' sleep quality through working on the two-shift rotation was better than the other two types of rotation. However, there were no significant differences in chronic fatigue, acute fatigue, and inter-shift [recovery] between the three types of rotations. Conclusion: Nurses who worked on the two-shift fast rotation had a better sleep quality than those who worked on the three-shift fast rotation and night-shift rotations. As sleep quality relates to the performance and alertness of nurses, greater attention should be paid to the use of different shift combinations to increase sleep quality and alertness. Considering sleep quality, a three-shift system arranged by two-shift fast rotation and combined with night-shift slow rotation is superior to the three-shift fast rotation.

“…Second, reducing rumination might be an effective way to increase nurses' sleep quality. Sun et al conducted a review of articles published up to 2016 that examined interventions on nurses' sleep problems and reported that methods of managing nurses' mental health have not been extensively reported in empirical research. Furthermore, most hospitals did not provide mental health services to nurses .…”

Purpose: Previous research has demonstrated that self-compassion improved sleep in geriatric samples. However, this may be due to an uncontrolled influence from selffocus, or interaction between self-compassion and self-focus. This study examines whether these findings apply to psychiatric nurses.Design and Methods: Demographics, sleep disturbances, self-compassion, and selffocus of 404 psychiatric nurses were assessed. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to predict sleep disturbances.Findings: Analyzes revealed that working more night shifts, less self-compassion, and rumination predicted worse sleep quality; however, the effect of self-compassion was not significant when controlling for self-focus.Practice Implications: An association between sleep quality and self-compassion was observed, but not when controlling for self-focus. Rumination may have an impact on sleep, and reducing it may improve sleep in psychiatric nurses. K E Y W O R D S night shift work, psychiatric nurses, self-compassion, self-focus, sleep deprivation
