- <p>Nurses have a duty to care empathetically and compassionately for their<br> patients. However, there are instances that their delivery of services could either<br> induce satisfaction or rob the nurses of their compassion about their job that will<br> eventually lead to burnout. This could contribute to lower quality patient care and<br> patient satisfaction. It was deemed necessary by the researcher to understand how<br> their Professional Quality of Life (PROQOL) which depicts satisfaction, fatigue and<br> burnout has relationship with empathy and demographic profile.</p> <p>The study employed descriptive and correlational methods. The study used the<br> PROQOL questionnaire and the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire to measure the<br> variables included in the study. Referral sampling was utilized. The tool was<br> administered to 150 employed nurses from the chosen NHS hospital in UK where<br> Pearson R was used as the statistical treatment.</p> <p>Most of the respondents are predominantly 25-29 years old, female, single, with<br> 5-9 years of experience, Filipino and working in medical wards. An average level was<br> seen with the nurses’ PROQOL and empathy. CS is affected by age, sex and civil<br> status and CF is affected by the two latter factors. Meanwhile, age is a factor for<br> burnout. Demographic profile is not a variable that can impact empathy. The<br> respondent’s PROQOL revealed a significant relationship with empathy of the nurses.<br> Compassion fatigue and burnout showed a negative relationship while compassion<br> satisfaction showed otherwise.</p> <p>Decreasing compassion fatigue and burnout and increasing compassion<br> satisfaction can increase the degree of empathy among nurses. Support for nurses<br> with continuous and adequate in-service trainings that could focus on self-care is<br> necessary to develop the empathetic skills of the nurses.</p>
