Compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue in haematology cancer nurses: A cross-sectional survey.

Haematology nurses in China had moderate levels of CS and moderate-to-low CF. Better nursing competence of teaching/consultation and communication/coordination and the percentage of critically ill patients >60% predicted higher CS. The permanent nurse, better nursing competence of communication/coordination and specialized clinical practice predicted less burnout, while working >40 hr per week or more nurse-patient conflict events predicted more burnout. In addition, working >40 hr per week, more nurse-patient conflict events and having the need of psychological support predicted higher secondary traumatic stress.
