Bring awareness to critical care nurses about compassion fatigue and educate them on ways to combat it in order to foster nursing resiliency and compassion satisfaction.<\/p>\n
Critical care nurses, within the nature of their jobs, are exposed to extreme and traumatic situations nearly every day at work. With this exposure comes increased stress, driven by fear, work-related trauma, and vulnerability to burnout, which can lead to emotional and physical exhaustion affecting compassion for others, known as compassion fatigue (CF). One can develop resiliency to compassion fatigue by recognizing its early signs and symptoms and learning effective self-care strategies.<\/p>\n
Critical care nurses completed Professional Quality of Life surveys (ProQOL 5) (Stamm, 2010) at before and two months after educational intervention that was designed to teach about CF and its self-care strategies. Comparisons of ProQOL scores which measured compassion satisfaction and CF (as burnout and secondary trauma scores) were made to determine if education interventions effectively improve compassion satisfaction and reduce CF
(significance level at p<0.05)<\/p>\n
The intervention for this project was a 1-hour virtual class setting via ZOOM that enabled critical care nurses to learn about CF and its components of BO and STS and to learn ways to combat, develop resiliency to CF, and resources available when affected by CF.<\/p>\n
The ProQOL 5 consist of three measured outcomes: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress (BO and STS are components of compassion fatigue). The measured data was taken prior to the educational intervention and two months post intervention.<\/p>\n

To support CF recovery, the next step is to provide and sustain the positive effects of this educational intervention for all nurses and healthcare team members. To do this we will need a Behavioral Fitness Action Plan<\/strong> to aid in employee experience, employee burnout, employee engagement, and moral injury.
