Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the liking of children level of pediatric nurses and their compassion fatigue, burnout and occupational satisfaction levels. Material and Methods: This correlational study was conducted with 536 nurses who worked in the emergency, intensive care and pediatric units of six hospitals in four provinces in western Turkey between January and September 2017. Data were collected using a questionnaire form, the Barnett Liking of Children Scale, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (burnout, compassion fatigue, and occupational satisfaction subscales). Data collection forms were filled out based on the nurses' self-reports. Data analyses were performed using the descriptive statistics and the Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The participants' mean age was 32±7.40 years, and their liking of children, burnout subscale, compassion fatigue subscale and occupational satisfaction subscale mean scores were 86.51 (min-max=74-94), 24 (min-max=21-29), 24 (min-max=21-28), and 39 (min-max=32-41), respectively. The analyses showed a very weak negative relationship (r=-0.177; p<0.001) between liking of children and compassion fatigue, a weak negative relationship (r= -0.398; p<0.001) between liking of children and burnout, and a positive moderate relationship (r= 0.516; p<0.001) between liking of children and occupational satisfaction. Conclusion: The study found that as pediatric nurses' liking of children scores increased, their occupational satisfaction also increased, and their burnout and compassion fatigue decreased. Support programs may decrease pediatric nurses' burnout and compassion fatigue and increase their occupational satisfaction, thereby increasing their liking of children.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amaç, pediatri hemşirelerinin çocuk sevme düzeyi ile eşduyum yorgunluğu, tükenmişlik ve mesleki tatmin düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İlişki arayıcı olarak yapılan bu araştırma, Ocak ve Eylül 2017 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'nin batısındaki dört ilde bulunan altı hastanenin pediatri kliniklerinde çalışan 536 hemşire ile yapıldı. Veriler, anket formu, Barnett Çocuk Sevme Ölçeği ve Çalışanlar için Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (tükenmişlik, eşduyum yorgunluğu ve mesleki tatmin alt ölçekleri) kulanılarak toplandı. Araştırmada tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan pediatri hemşirelerinin yaş ortalaması 32±7,40 yıl, tükenmişlik alt ölçeğinin ortanca puanı 24 (alt-üst=21-29), eşduyum yorgunluğunun ortanca puanı 24 (alt-üst=21-28), mesleki tatmin alt ölçeğinin ortanca puanı 39 (altüst= 32-41) ve çocuk sevme ölçeği ortanca puanı ise 86,51 (alt-üst=74- 94), olarak bulundu. Pediatri hemşirelerinin çocuk sevme toplam puanı ile eşduyum yorgunluğu puanı arasında ise negatif yönde çok zayıf (r=- 0,177; p<0,001); tükenmişlik puan arasında negatif yönde zayıf (r= - 0,398; p<0,001) ve mesleki tatmin puanı arasında ise pozitif yönde orta (r= 0,516; p<0,001) ilişki bulundu. Sonuç: Pediatri hemşirelerinin çocuk sevme puanları arttıkça mesleki tatminlerinin arttığı, tükenmişlik ve eşduyum yorgunluğunun azaldığı saptandı. Pediatri hemşirelerine yönelik destek programları uygulanarak, onların tükenmişlik ve eşduyum yorgunlukları azaltılabilir, mesleki tatminleri arttırılabilir, böylece çocukları sevmelerine katkı sağlanabilir.
