Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the meaning and nature of the compassion fatigue experiences among nurses working in oncology wards. The participants in this study were 11 nurses who worked for at least 6 months in oncology wards. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using the phenomenological method by Giorgi. Six categories of the meaning of compassion fatigue were derived as follows; physically difficulty, emotion is control of patient's condition, collapsing in front of cancer patients, reminding of patient-related memory, finding a changed attitude, and searching for how to recover.

본 연구는 암 병동에 근무하는 간호사의 공감피로 경험의 의미와 본질을 이해하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구 참여자는 암 병동 근무기간이 최소 6개월 이상인 11명을 대상으로 하였다. 심층면담을 실시하여 자료를 수집하였으며, Giorgi의 현상학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 신체적으로 힘듦, 환자의 상황에 갇힌 마음, 암이라는 병 앞에서 무너짐, 되새겨지는 환자관련 기억, 변화된 자신의 모습을 발견함, 회복의 길을 찾아감의 6개의 범주로 도출되었다.
