Registered Nurses, Techniques for Stress Management to Prevent Compassion Fatigue

The problem addressed in this evidence-based project is the lack of understanding of the relationship between mindfulness techniques, the stages of nurses' knowledge, registered nurses in the CICU, and the ability to prevent compassion fatigue. Registered nurses need to understand the concepts of mindfulness techniques, which could result in decreased stress. Understanding which mindfulness techniques help to avoid the symptoms of compassion fatigue may facilitate the design of education practices in the CICU for registered nurses during the various stages of nursing knowledge development. Understanding the concepts of nursing knowledge development and the relationship between mindfulness techniques is fundamental to successfully achieving and retaining qualified and healthy registered nurses in the CICU. ...This evidence-based project (EBP) aims to identify the relationship between the mindfulness technique, stress reduction, and nursing stages of knowledge to prevent compassion fatigue in registered nurses in the cardiac intensive care unit.
