Introduction: Nurses play a vital role in providing healthcare; however, job stress and compassion fatigue can diminish the quality of care. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based training and resilience-based training in reducing job stress and compassion fatigue among nurses.
Methods: This experimental study employed a pretest–posttest design with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of nurses working in hospitals in Khorramabad in 2024. From this population, 45 nurses with the lowest scores on the Cognitive Flexibility Scale were randomly assigned to three groups: acceptance and commitment-based training, resilience-based training, and a control group. The acceptance and commitment-based group received 10 40-minute sessions, the resilience-based group received 8 90-minute sessions, and the control group received no intervention. Data collection instruments included the Job Stress Scale by Parker and DeCotiis (1983) and the Compassion Fatigue Scale by Stamm (2010). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures and mixed analysis of variance.
Results: The findings indicated that both training programs significantly reduced job stress and compassion fatigue compared with the control group (P<0.001), and these effects remained stable at the three-month follow-up. There was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two interventions.
Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment-based training and resilience-based training are effective and sustainable interventions for reducing job stress and compassion fatigue in nurses. These approaches can be applied as practical strategies to enhance nurses’ mental health and the quality of professional performance in clinical settings. |
