Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aimed to conduct a short- and long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program and compare its impact on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress and resilience. The research was conducted between January 2017 and January 2019 as a randomized controlled trial. The sample comprised 125 oncology-hematology nurses randomly assigned to a Experimental I (short-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program), Experimental II (long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program) or control group. Data was collected using Personal Information Form, Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQOL-IV), Perceived Stress Scale, and Resilience Scale for Adults. Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test and at three-, six- and twelve-month follow-ups. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multilevel models.
