Abstract

Compassion satisfaction is a positive emotion experienced as a result of helping others and is connected to nurses’ self-care. Self-care is the daily activities that an individual engages in to meet basic physiological and emotional needs, including establishing daily routines, relationships with family, and the environment. A preliminary study discovered that seventeen nurses engaged in self-care activities before or following the COVID-19 pandemic, with 76.5 percent of nurses expressing satisfaction with their jobs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-care practices and nurses’ compassion satisfaction in Indonesia. This quantitative correlation study collected 397 samples through accidental sampling using an online survey. The instruments used were the Indonesian version of the compassion satisfaction scale derived from the Professional Quality of Life Scale (Cronbach alpha 0,795) and the Clinical Version of the Mindful Self-Care Scale (Cronbach alpha 0,966). Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review board. The rank spearman correlation was used to analyze the data, indicating a positive correlation between self-care practices and compassion satisfaction (p = 0.0001; r = 0.634). Nurses’ compassion satisfaction is increased through self-care. Assessment of workload and practicing self-care are encouraged to help increase nurses’ compassion satisfaction, specifically during COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Abstrak: Kepuasan belas kasih adalah emosi positif yang dialami sebagai hasil dari membantu orang lain dan terhubung dengan perawatan diri perawat. Perawatan diri adalah kegiatan sehari-hari yang dilakukan individu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan fisiologis dan emosional dasar, termasuk membangun rutinitas sehari-hari, hubungan dengan keluarga, dan lingkungan. Sebuah studi pendahuluan menemukan bahwa tujuh belas perawat terlibat dalam kegiatan perawatan diri sebelum atau setelah pandemi COVID-19, dengan 76,5 persen perawat menyatakan kepuasan dengan pekerjaan mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara praktik perawatan diri dengan kepuasan kasih sayang perawat di Indonesia. Studi korelasi kuantitatif ini mengumpulkan 397 sampel melalui accidental sampling menggunakan survei online. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah skala kepuasan welas asih versi Indonesia yang diturunkan dari Skala Kualitas Hidup Profesional (Cronbach alpha 0,795) dan Skala Perawatan Diri Sadar Versi Klinis (Cronbach alpha 0,966). Izin etis diperoleh dari dewan peninjau institusional. Korelasi rank spearman digunakan untuk menganalisis data, menunjukkan korelasi positif antara praktik perawatan diri dan kepuasan belas kasih (p = 0,0001; r = 0,634). Kepuasan kasih sayang perawat meningkat melalui perawatan diri. Penilaian beban kerja dan praktik perawatan diri didorong untuk membantu meningkatkan kepuasan belas kasih perawat, khususnya selama pandemi COVID-19.
