Abstract

Professional Quality of Life, that is compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF), is experienced by cancer health care professionals (HCP) as they are exposed to the distress and suffering of patients with cancer. Cancer HCPs use both emotional and cognitive empathy and aspects of emotional intelligence in their interactions with patients. This study was the first to examine the relationships between professional quality of life, empathy and emotional intelligence, and compare these constructs between cancer nurses, radiation therapists and oncologists.
