The Influence of self-compassion and emotion regulation on occupational burnout among oncology nurses:a cross-sectional study
Objective:To investigate the influence of self-compassion and emotion regulation on occupational burnout among oncology nurses.Methods:In this cross-sectional study,a total of 259 oncology nurses selected from three tertiary hospitals were evaluated by the general information questionnaire,Self-compassion Scale,Emotion Regulation Scale,and Maslach Burnout Inventory.Results:The median score of emotion exhaustion was 25.00(16.00,32.00),and 76.9%of the participants scored>26.The median score of depersonalization was 11.00(6.00,15.00),and 54.1%of the participants scored>9.The median score of personal accomplishment was 32.00(28.00,37.00),and 56.8%of the participants scored<34.Hierarchical multiple regression showed that self-compassion(β=-0.378)and cognitive reappraisal(β=-0.307)both had negative predictive effect on emotional exhaustion.Monthly night shift(β=0.937)and expression inhibition(β=0.192)both had a positive predictive effect on depersonalization dimension,while self-compassion(β=-0.147)and cognitive reappraisal(β=-0.179)had a negative predictive effect on depersonalization dimension.In terms of personal accomplishment,working hours(β=1.353),self-compassion(β=0.091)and cognitive reappraisal(β=0.573)all had positive predictive effect on it.Conclusion:The level of job burnout of oncology nurses was at high level.The self-compassion and cognitive reappraisal of emotion regulation had influence on differnet dimensions of occupational burnout,and expression inhibition had influence on the depersonalization.With regard to nursing manager,it's suggested that the level of self-compassion and emotional regulation needed to be improved to reduce the level of occupational burnout.
