“…The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL V) is a 30‐item self‐report measure on a 5‐point scale (from never to very often) and consists of three discrete scales: CS, BO, and CF/STS that do not yield a composite score (Stamm, 2010). The Greek translated ProQOL version was employed for the purpose of the study (Misouridou et al, 2020). The Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.67 for CS, 0.68 for BO, and 0.84 for CF.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate compassion fatigue (CF) and compassion satisfaction (CS) in nursing care providers in COVID‐19 units. Methods A mixed‐method study with 105 nurses. Results 23% of participants reported high CF risk while 77% expressed high to moderate potential for CS. Adequate preparation/education, clear and accountable leadership, and team sharing of feelings, experiences, and responsibilities during the transition in the COVID‐19 unit helped participants to deal with overwhelming anxiety which if unattended could bring about frustration and long‐lasting feelings of powerlessness. Practical Implications In the face of the present and future pandemics, there is a clear need to prepare healthcare organizations and nursing care providers to cope with the emotional content of public health emergencies while protecting themselves and avoid absorbing unmanageable emotions.

“…Scores range from 1 (never) to 5 (very often), with higher scores indicating higher levels in each subscale. The ProQOL demonstrates high reliability and validity in over 200 published articles ( Misouridou et al, 2020 ). For example, an acceptable Cronbach's alpha (a = 0.73) value was determined in a study conducted in Iran ( Ghorji et al, 2018 ).…”

Professional Quality of Life Among Nurses: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress: A Multisite Study

et al. 2022

Introduction Increased stressors and decreased job satisfaction are major challenges in nursing. Important factors of better professional quality of life include compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. It is critical to assess these factors to help improve nurses’ clinical practices. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between the three factors and associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional, multisite study was conducted on a convenience sample of 464 nurses working at three public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The Professional Quality of Life Version 5 was used to collect data. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were run using SPSS. Results Scores were slightly moderate on the compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress levels. Compassion satisfaction was statistically significantly and negatively associated with burnout. A statistically significant relationship was reported between compassion satisfaction and secondary traumatic stress. Further, there was a statistically significant association between burnout and secondary traumatic stress. In regression, only the secondary traumatic stress model was statistically significant. Conclusions Nurse managers should use highly standard guidelines to reduce secondary traumatic stress levels. Further actions addressing potential issues for improving compassion satisfaction and reducing burnout levels among nurses are also recommended.

Finally, participants in a pre-test of ProQOL-V verified the readability, comprehensibility and suitability of the culturally adopted items ( 13 ).…”

Background: Compassion constitutes a central element of all health and social care professions. The Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire is the most widely used instrument to measure compassion fatigue worldwide. Objective: The aim of this study was to provide evidence for the reliability and the validity of ProQOL-V for Greece. Methods: A total of 261 nurses selected by convenience sampling and required to complete the ProQOL and Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS). The reliability and validity of the scale was evaluated by correlation analysis, t-test, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The overall Cronbach’s a for Compassion Satisfaction was 0.87 ranging from 0.86 to 0.87 with individual items deleted, for Burn-out was 0.73 ranging from 0.71 to 0.79 with individual items deleted and for Secondary Traumatic Stress was 0.83 ranging from 0.81 to 0.84 with individual items deleted. Additionally, the Pearson correlation r for Compassion Satisfaction, Burn-out and Secondary Traumatic Stress showed strong correlations between test-retest measurements (p<0.001). Secondary Traumatic Stress and Burn-out were positively correlated to STSS as expected (r=0.69 for Secondary Traumatic Stress and r=0.57 for Burn-out) implying sufficient convergent validity. In contrast, Compassion Satisfaction was negatively correlated to STSS as expected (r=-0.25) implying sufficient divergent validity. Goodness-of-fit indices included TLI=0.856, CFI=0.895, and RMSEA=0.063 supporting the construct validity of the three-dimensional instrument. Conclusion: ProQOL-V has good reliability and validity among nurses in Greece. The implications of relevant future research are important in relation to the health care management and the support and continuous education of front-line health and social care workers.
