Abstract
To evaluate the effects of a nurse-led intervention programme on compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and burnout, which are indicators of the professional quality of life and post-traumatic growth of oncology nurses. The study was designed in a single group with pre-test and post-test comparisons. The nurse-led intervention programme was carried out in two face-to-face sessions and two counselling follow-up sessions by phone with 43 nurses who care for oncology patients at a university hospital. The nurse-led intervention sessions consisted of a lecture on a relevant topic, background reading, baksi dance and mandala painting; motivational text messages and counselling. The Professional Quality of Life-IV Scale and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory were used, and data were evaluated using the "paired groups t test" analysis. Data for the study were acquired between March and April 2016. The evaluation carried out before and 5weeks after the intervention showed that compassion fatigue and burnout decreased, while compassion satisfaction and all subscales scores of post-traumatic growth inventory increased. This nurse-led intervention programme was effective in improving the professional quality of life and post-traumatic growth of oncology nurses.
