Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this research was to identify the factors associated with compassion fatigue in nurses from the provinces of Galápagos, Pichincha, and Chimborazo during the year 2024. To achieve this, a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study was conducted. The population consisted of 32 nurses. The psychological instruments used were: Zarit Burden Interview; General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12); Professional Quality of Life Scale (PROQOL vIV), Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction Questionnaire Version IV H. Stamm (2005); Empathy Fatigue Inventory (IDE); and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The results showed a female predominance, most of whom work under provisional appointment. The average work experience was 6.34 years. Although no work overload was reported, there was a higher level of depression than anxiety. A high level of empathy fatigue was identified, along with a high level of personal accomplishment and depersonalization.
