ObjectiveTo understand the status of nurses’ health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue,and to explore the relationship between nurses’ health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue,so as to provide the basis for formulating targeted interventions.MethodsThis study adopted the self-made demographic information scale,the Chinese version of health promotion lifestyle scale revised by Wenjun Cao and the Chinese version of professional life quality scale revised by Xing Zheng as the survey tools,and selected 659 nursing staff from several hospitals in Wuhan to participate in the survey.In this study,SPSS22.0 software was used for descriptive statistical analysis of the questionnaire,which mainly included frequency,percentage,mean and standard difference.The influencing factors of health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue were analyzed statistically by one-way analysis of variance and independent sample test.The overall correlation between health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue and the degree of correlation in each dimension were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Multivariate stepwise regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between nurses’ health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue.Results(1)The average scores of six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle were4.01 points,3.95 points,3.47 points,3.13 points,3.60 points and 3.81 points,respectively.The highest average score of items was 4.01 in interpersonal dimension.The lowest average score for items was 3.13 for sports.The medium level of the six dimensions accounted for the largest number of people.The average scores of the three dimensions of compassion fatigue,compassion satisfaction,job burnout and secondary trauma were 3.30 points,2.57 points and 2.56 points,respectively.(2)Among the six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle,interpersonal relationship has significant differences in gender,age,education level,annual income,professional title,employment type,department and hospital type.There were significant differences in nutrition in gender,age,living style,education,income,professional title,position,overtime times,departments and hospitals.There are significant differences in health responsibility in age,number of children,title,employment type,department and hospital type.There are significant differences in age,number of children,education level,working years,income,title,employment type,department and hospital category.Stress management has significant differences in age,marriage,number of children,living style,education,working years,income,professional title,employment type,overtime frequency and hospital type.Spiritual growth has significant differences in education,income,professional title,position,overtime times,departments and hospitals.(3)Among the three dimensions of compassion fatigue,there were significant differences in compassion satisfaction in gender,age,working years,professional title,position,employment type,overtime frequency and hospital type;Job burnout has significant differences in age,marriage,children,living style,education level,professional title,employment type,overtime times,departments and hospitals.There are significant differences in age,number of children,living style,education level,position,overtime times,department and hospital category of secondary trauma.(4)Among the three dimensions of compassion fatigue,compassion satisfaction has a strong positive correlation with the six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle,while job burnout has a negative correlation with the six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle.Among them,spiritual growth,stress management and nutrition are the important factors affecting job burnout,accounting for 49% of the variation.There was a negative correlation between secondary trauma and six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle,among which mental growth and stress management were the important factors affecting nurses’ secondary trauma,accounting for 31% of the variation.Conclusion(1)There were partial differences in nurses’ health-promoting lifestyle and compassion fatigue in their demographic variables.(2)The average scores of the six dimensions of health promotion lifestyle of nurses were above the average level.Among them,the average score of interpersonal relationship dimension items is the highest,while the average score of sports dimension items is the lowest.Among the three dimensions of empathy fatigue,the average scores of the dimensions of empathy satisfaction were above the average level,and the average scores of the dimensions of job burnout and secondary trauma were above the average level.(3)The higher the score of health-promoting lifestyle,the higher the compassion satisfaction;The higher the health promotion lifestyle score,the lower the job burnout and secondary trauma.Among them,spiritual growth,nutrition and stress management have greater influence on job burnout.Stress management and spiritual growth have greater influence on secondary trauma.(4)Scientific scales can be designated to effectively evaluate the compassion fatigue of nurses.The hospital should set up decompression space,adopt massage,Chinese ear point therapy,music relaxation method and other methods to decompress,and cultivate nurses’ artistic interests to improve the compassion fatigue of nurses.
