Introduction: Introduction: Nurses working in pediatric wards often experience compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress due to their compassionate roles and frequent exposure to the suffering of children. This study aimed to investigate the quality of professional life among nurses in pediatric wards in Kermanshah.
Method: Method: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study included 98 nurses working in pediatric wards, selected using an accessible sampling method. The data collection tool utilized was the Stam Quality of Professional Life Questionnaire. Data collection took place from December 2021 to May 2022.
Results: The reported levels of compassion satisfaction (7.5 ± 36.9), burnout (4.7 ± 29.3), and secondary traumatic stress (6.6 ± 29.5) among nurses were found to be moderate. Furthermore, being a parent was identified as a predictor of higher compassion satisfaction (p = 0.039, β = 2.26), lower burnout (p = 0.021, β = -1.56), and lower secondary traumatic stress (p = 0.016, β = -2.29).
Conclusion: Conclusion: The findings revealed a moderate level of burnout and secondary traumatic stress among nurses working in pediatric wards. Therefore, it is recommended that educational programs be developed to manage stress and enhance the mental health of these individuals. |
