Abstract
Aims: 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.
Design: The research was conducted between January 2017 January 2019 as a ran-
domized controlled trial.
Methods: The sample comprised 125 oncology–haematology nurses randomly as-
signed to a Experimental I, Experimental II, or control group. The Compassion Fatigue
Resiliency Program was conducted with the nurses as an intervention. Experimental
I received a short-term program (5 hr per day for 2 days, 10 hr in total) while
Experimental II received a long-term one (5 weeks, 2 hr per week, 10 hr in total).
Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month
follow-ups. Research hypotheses were analysed using multilevel models.
Results: The results of multilevel model analyses showed there was no statistically
significant difference between mean scores for compassion fatigue, burnout, per-
ceived stress, and resilience of nurses in the short- or long-term groups or of those
in the control group. Mean compassion satisfaction scores of nurses in the short- or
long-term groups were significantly higher than those in the control group. Mean
compassion satisfaction scores of nurses in the short- or long-term groups were sig-
nificantly higher than the control group’s pre-test mean after 6 and 12 months.
Conclusion: This study concluded that short- or long-term programs had no influ-
ence on compassion fatigue, burnout, perceived stress, and resilience; however, both
programs positively affected compassion satisfaction. We recommend that further
studies be conducted, which will help determine the effectiveness of new programs.
Impact: Caring for patients with cancer can generate work-related stress that can
negatively affect oncolo
