Types of interventions and evidence of its effectiveness on compassion fatigue hasn't been established.ObjectivesThe aim of the review is to determine effectiveness of the interventions to manage compassion fatigue in oncology nurses.MethodsElectronic databases (CINAHLu00ae, PubMed and WOS) were used for searching the studies with the following key words u201ccompassion fatigueu201d, u201cinterventions or strategiesu201d and u201concology nursingu201d. The methodology used for this systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Identified publications were screened by using the following inclusion criteria; randomized controlled trials (RCTs), intervention studies and English language full text journals published in last 10 years. Descriptive studies, reviews, conference abstracts, letters to the editor were excluded.ResultsThe initial search identified 64 articles and 8 studies met eligibility criteria. Majority (5) of the studies from USA and rest of them were from Canada and Portugal. Non-randomized, pre-test and post-test design were used in intervention studies. Most of the studies were pilot and included small sample ranging from 10 to 45 participants.Effectiveness of the interventions were measured by The Professional Quality of Life Scale. Mindfulness, support group, knitting and education were applied over 4 to 6 weeks period. The interventions were effective in decreasing compassion fatigue level except one study that using mobile application.ConclusionsThe findings of these small scale studies support that interventions can be effective in reducing nurses compassion fatigue.

Book excerpt: Aim: The aim of this project was to plan, develop, and implement "The Watson Room" or "Quiet Room" in an inpatient oncology nursing population and evaluate changes in Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL). Background: Oncology Nurses are at high risk for compassion fatigue (CF), burn-out (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) related to the effects of living the traumas of oncology patients and their families through their cancer journey and the innate stress in a complex and intense workplace. High levels of compassion fatigue, burn-out, and secondary traumatic stress that are poorly managed reduces the nurse's ability to self-regulate their empathy and compassion leading to negative sequela for organizations, patients, and nurses. Preventative and restorative measures accessible in the workplace will aide nurses to manage and remediate the negative aspects of compassion fatigue experienced through the care of oncology patients and their families. Methods: Utilizing the Precede-Proceed Model, relief of compassion fatigue, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion satisfaction was measured before and after utilizing the "The Watson Room" in a pre- post-test design. Outcomes were measured with the Professional Quality of Life version V Survey (ProQOL-V). Results: The pre-surveys indicated below average scores in CS (37.20; avg score 50), BO (22.60; avg 50), and STS (25.65; avg 50) and post-survey results were not appreciably different (CS 35.82, BO 23.65, STS 24.82). Of the interventions it was found that Modeling Clay and the Buddha Board had the most significant number of participants and were found to be moderately or extremely effective. Implications: Although the results did not demonstrate an appreciable difference, it did show an interesting finding. The interventions used in "The Watson Room" showed that when modalities were easily accessible, they were utilized. Conclusion: "The Watson Room" is a concept first conceived as a "Quiet Room". C. Crewe (2016) renamed the room as the "The Watson Room" in honor of nursing theorist, Jean Watson. Her intention was to connect the use of the room to the importance of self-care.
Book Synopsis Oncology Nursing Compassion Fatigue by : Michelle L. Cochran
Download or read book Oncology Nursing Compassion Fatigue written by Michelle L. Cochran and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores the phenomenon of compassion fatigue as experienced by oncology nurses working in an outpatient unit in a mid west city of The United States. The researcher sought to understand how compassion fatigue was affecting the lives of the nurses and how self care approaches using art therapy techniques could be taught to relieve self-reported symptoms. It was hypothesized that over 50% of the particpating nurses would report experiencing compassion fatigue. The hypothesis was confirmed by the study identifying 78% of participants felt they experienced symtoms. the research process included a standard assessment measuring compassion fatigue experience for each participant, a group therapy session for developing self awareness and psychoeducation on compassion fatigue, and a visual journaling assignment for implementing self care art therapy techniques. Participants evaluated their experience in a survey collected three weeks after the group session. Results displayed that visual journaling proved effective for combating perceived symptomes of compassion fatigue. A thematic content analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data revealed themes of the nurses' negative experience of compassion fatigue as well as successful themes of art therapy techniques for relief. This study calls for further research to be completed with a larger sample study size to explore the effects and development of compassion fatigue in oncology nurses as well as interventions to prevent onset. A call for health care organizations to develop and implement effective programs to prevent decreased productivity and devastating clinical outcomes is identitified.
Book Synopsis Effects of an Educational Intervention on Compassion Fatigue as Experienced by Oncology Nurses by : Jaclyn C. Hoffman

This book was released on 2020 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term compassion fatigue was developed in 1992 when it was noticed that nurses lost the ability to provide nuturing care to their patients when dealing with heartache. Compassion fatigue can cause a decline in social, physical, intellectual, spiritual, work and emotional health. These symptoms can cause callousness, isolation, lack of spiritual awareness, decreased energy, irritability, sarcasm, cynicism, anger, boredom, absenteeism, and the desire to quit.

The American Nurses Association has noticed a significant rise in the levels of fatigue among healthcare professionals and states that this has safety implications in the quality of care for patients as well as nurse's overall health.
Book Synopsis Promoting Awareness on Compassion Fatigue by : Melissa Soderlund
Download or read book Promoting Awareness on Compassion Fatigue written by Melissa Soderlund and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Compassion is at the core of nursing care. Close relationships are formed with patients and their families as a result of the compassionate care given. This paves the way for a phenomenon known as compassion fatigue. In 1992, Carol Joinson described nurses who shut down their own feelings as a way to deal with the stress of caring for patients undergoing traumatic experiences and recognized nurses at risk for compassion fatigue. When a nurse's capacity to give compassionate care is compromised, the quality of care delivered could potentially be affected. Oncology nurses are recognized as an at-risk group for experiencing compassion fatigue. No existing educational materials on this topic were identified that targeted on oncology nurses. Therefore, an educational resource was created specifically for oncology nurses. Method: A comprehensive resource booklet was developed to promote awareness of compassion fatigue and offer self-care strategies aiming at prevention and interventions to decrease its effects. Stamm's (2012) Theoretical Model of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue was used as a framework in the development of the booklet. A team of five experts reviewed the booklet through a series of three evaluations using the Delphi Method. Results: Final topics deemed appropriate for an oncology setting included an overview of compassion fatigue, impact on patient care, prevention and self-care, impact on work environment, and leadership and organization responsibility. Conclusion: The development of an educational resource for oncology nurses is a vital step to bringing awareness about compassion fatigue. Future goals include distributing the resource to oncology nurses to evaluate its effectiveness on preventing and decreasing compassion fatigue. Education on compassion fatigue needs to be a priority so oncology nurses can continue to give compassionate care.
Book Synopsis Oncology Nurse Compassion Fatigue Intervention Program Proposal by : Heidi Irwin
Download or read book Oncology Nurse Compassion Fatigue Intervention Program Proposal written by Heidi Irwin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research studies have indicated the negative impact of compassion fatigue (CF) among acute care nursing specialties such as oncology settings. High turn-over rates, increased medical mistakes, and decreased patient satisfaction are a few outcomes of this preventable and treatable psychological phenomenon. Research indicates organizations provide accessible on site resources from 0 to 60% of the time to support those who experience signs and symptoms of CF. Organizations can improve support to nursing staff by implementing a formal interventional educational program led by a professionally trained psychologist to encourage, empower, and support oncology nurses who suffer from this often overlooked issue. This program is intended to quantify and qualify the results of this program to understand and increase the number of organizations who promote compassion satisfaction among their nursing staff. The Professional Quality of Life Survey (ProQol) will be utilized. This program will also be descriptive in nature in order to specify pertinent thoughts, feelings or concerns regarding experiences of oncology nurses. This program has the opportunity to increase revenue and reduce turnover rates.

This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how effective navigation requires a team approach to oncology care and should never be considered an “add-on” resource or service. The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN) is the only national professional organization for navigation professionals, and has more than 6,000 members, 90% of which are oncology nurse navigators. They are the experts on creating team-based programs, which remove the risk of others trying to reinvent the wheel by designing a navigation program from scratch. They also understand the role of effective navigation across the entire continuum of care, and understand and are able to apply other key aspects of navigation, including clinical trial screenings and tumor board coordination and monitoring, as well as measurement using evidence-based navigation metrics, to name but a few.It is the only book designed to educate and support anyone developing a new navigation program, or wanting to improve one they have created.As such it offers a guide for cancer centers needing to develop and implement an oncology navigation program; understand and successfully meet and exceed the Commission on Cancer accreditation standards linked to navigation; expand or improve their current navigation program as well as demonstrate its value using reliable measurable results, including patient satisfaction and improved- quality clinical outcomes. This comprehensive book also provides insights into applying the information presented to the real world of oncology care.

Book Synopsis Compassion Fatigue Training for Oncology Nurses to Improve Staff and Patient Satisfaction by : Julie Kimberlin
Download or read book Compassion Fatigue Training for Oncology Nurses to Improve Staff and Patient Satisfaction written by Julie Kimberlin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professions that witness tragic events or encounter those who are dying are at risk for many emotional complications. Compassion fatigue is the terminology that best describes this phenomenon. This type of emotional exhaustion can lead to rapid pulse, high blood pressure, decreased immune response, insomnia, lack of empathy, and depersonalization of the patients they care about (Boyle, 2011). Compassion fatigue affects the nurse's professional capability therefore creating a negative impact on patient care and overall satisfaction. Several professions including the military workforce and palliative care providers have developed programs to teach compassion fatigue training (Melvin, 2012). This important educational offering teaches professionals how to care for themselves in times of stress. It allows them the opportunity to understand that compassion fatigue is real and if not managed properly, it can lead to poor physical health and declining overall job performance. This paper will provide the rationale for the necessity of compassion fatigue training to the oncology workforce. This author is proposing a plan for a pilot program that can begin on the pediatric oncology unit of the institution. The pilot program will take part in a four hour workshop that includes the teaching of self-care techniques vital to minimizing the symptoms and prevention of compassion fatigue. With a thorough dissemination plan to the staff, managers, educators and clinical supervisors; their support and buy-in will encourage staff to participate in this course. Evaluating the program after implementation will require collection of discharge summaries, participant post-seminar questionnaires, and monitoring feedback of the rounding tools used with families during their inpatient stay. This author has a vision that this program could be utilized hospital wide. The hope is that it will contribute to staff satisfaction and retention which will lead to improved patient care and increased patient and family satisfaction.

This book was released on 2008-05-19 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many mental health practitioners present symptoms that are consistent with their clients' anxiety and stress-related disorders. It comes as no surprise, then, that "counselor impairment" - the stress that comes from treating survivors of traumatic events - is now officially recognized by the American Counseling Associations' Task Force on Counselor Wellness. "Empathy Fatigue" is a term coined by the author after his own experience serving on the crisis response team for the Westside Middle School shootings in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Remarkably, symptoms of empathy fatigue are evident amongst a broad range of professionals: those who treat victims of stressful and traumatic events; those who treat persons with abuse, mood, anxiety, and stress-related disorders; as well as those who work in career and vocational settings or with people with mental and physical disabilities. This guide is also meant for all these groups. This book provides a repertoire of strategies, techniques, and insight designed to increase personal resiliency and decrease counselor burnout and fatigue: Self-assessment approaches, with an in-depth analysis of empathy fatigue and an explanation of this phenomenon from a mind, body, and spiritual perspective. Detailed case studies and suggested questions for self-assessments and self-care. A variety of self-care approaches, providing guidelines to counselors and clinicians to identify their own emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. .
