dc.description.abstractThis study aimed at assessing the level and determinants of professional quality of life (compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and burnout) for cancer care nurses. A descriptive correlation was conducted among 90 cancer care nurses using ProQoL Version-V and Brief COPE inventory self-administered questionnaires. Stratified sampling was used to select the study participants from different units. There was a high score for compassion satisfaction 42±4.76, low to average burnout 33±4.7, and compassion fatigue 27±8.7 scores. There was a statistically significant difference in the levels based on some demographic factors and personal factors. A negative relationship between compassion satisfaction with exposure to chemotherapeutic, workload, and insufficient preparation with Staff patient ratio was noted to be the major predicting factors for all subscales of ProQoL. Organizational and personal intervention measures such as self-care, a mentorship program for upcoming new oncology staff, and training cancer caregivers. A study with a large sample is highly recommended.en_US
