Relationship between Compassion Fatigue and Social Adjustment among Staff Nurses in a Hospital
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the influence of compassion fatigue on the social adjustment of staff nurses in hospitals. It sought to determine whether compassion fatigue is related to the level of social adjustment among staff nurses. A total of 150 staff nurses, aged 22 to 50 years, were used in this study. Two instruments were used in data collection: one to measure compassion fatigue and the other to determine the level of social adjustment. Results showed that compassion fatigue was moderate to high, with a mean score of 75.8400 and a standard deviation of 7.6653, indicating a big difference in the level of compassion fatigue among staff nurses. Results on social adjustment showed a mean score of 2.4935, a standard deviation of 0.5490, indicating a big difference in the level of social adjustment among staff nurses. Using the Pearson correlation method, compassion fatigue was found to have a positive and significant correlation with social adjustment. Results of this study showed that compassion fatigue could play an important role in the social adjustment of staff nurses in hospitals.
