Abstract:
Purpose:This study was a descriptive study to identify the factors affecting nurses' care burden of patients with hematologic neoplasm (PHN) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods:A total of 139 ICU nurses were enrolled and data were collected using self-report questionnaires about compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, nursing work performance, and the care burden of PHN. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test and one–way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis.
Results:The average of nurses’ care burden of PHN was 35.75 points in the ICU. Analyzing the correlations among the main variables showed that the care burden of PHN showed a negative correlation with compassion satisfaction and nursing work performance, and a positive correlation with compassion fatigue. We noted that the compassion satisfaction showed a negative correlation with burnout and a positive correlation with nursing work performance. The factor affecting the care burden of PHN was burnout (β=.30, p=.019), and showed a significant explanatory power of 16.0% (F=7.37, p<.001)
Conclusion:Efforts such as policies and nurse support programs are needed to reduce burnout, a factor that affects care burden of PHN in intensive care nurses.
