Virginia |. ^Banag

Abstract

The study is a descriptive research on the compassion satisfaction, burnout and compassion fatigue

of

the nurses

in

^Pampanga both public and private hospitals. Its relationship among

the

socio-demographic variables

of

gender, 88€,

civil

^status,

educational attainment and work setting were investigated.

Utilizing convenience, the researcher distributed questionnaires to the nurses in

Pampanga. Survey method was used

in

gathering the data. The Professional Q3rality of Life Scale (ProQol): Compassion satisfaction, Burnout, and Compassion fatigue ^scales were used as

the

instrument.

The

results were statistically treated, analyzed and interpreted.

Result shows that gender and civil status have no sigfficant relationship to the three levels

with

a very low computed chi square using ^5olo confidence interval. Results show that age is not related to compassion satisfaction and burnout, respectively but

it

says that there is a significant relationship benveen age and compassion fatigue. Result suggests that those who achieved a higher degree have a relatively lower level of burnout

compare to those who have lower educational attainment. The two way analysis shows ^a significant result that the work setting is related to the compassion satisfaction of the nurses.
