Abstract

Faith community nurses (FCNs), pastors, and priests faced many challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, serving as frontline sources of support for congregants. The aim of this study was to identify the most common care strategies used during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine professional quality of life, perceived stress, and associated factors in faith leaders and FCNs in rural Appalachia. Using a cross-sectional, descriptive survey design, high compassion satisfaction was reported along with compassion fatigue as caregiving moved to virtual platforms, suggesting the need for greater support.
