Objective To explore the mediating effect of perceived head nurse's caring on the relationship between compassion fatigue and caring behavior towards patients in psychiatric nurses and to provide a reference for promoting humanistic care.Methods A total of 360 psychiatric nurses were selected from 7 psychiatric hospitals in Nantong and were investigated by using the general data questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Caring Behaviors Inventory,the Professional Quality of Life Scale,and the Caring Factor Survey-Caring of Manager.Results The sample scored(114.92±19.94)in caring behaviors,(53.32±11.87)in caring of mana-ger,and(41.79±11.78)in compassion fatigue.Perceived caring of manager played a partial mediating role in the association be-tween compassion fatigue and caring behavior,accounting for 35.01%of the total effect.Conclusion The psychiatric nurses'caring behavior is at a moderate level.Nursing managers can alleviate compassion fatigue of psychiatric nurses by strengthening head nur-ses'caring for the nurses,thus to promote the implementation of caring behavior towards patients.
