Effect of a compassion fatigue resiliency program on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress, resilience: A randomized controlled trial.

Caring for patients with cancer can generate work-related stress that can negatively affect oncology nurses' physical and emotional health, which could lead to compassion fatigue. The program provided nurses with an opportunity to improve their compassion satisfaction. Because there was no difference between both programs regarding mean compassion satisfaction scores, a short-term program may be preferred to encourage more participation among nurses. We also recommend further studies should be conducted that include environmental improvements along with the training programs. Trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (The name of the trial register: Effect of a Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program; the clinical trial registration number: NCT04372303).
