The psychological impact of caring during the covid-19 pandemic on HIV nurses
NHIVNA is delighted to publish this report, which establishes how caring during the covid-19 pandemic has impacted on the professional quality of life of HIV nurses in the UK and develop evidence-based recommendations for addressing adverse impact and safeguarding psychological wellbeing.
The objectives of the report are:
- To determine the levels of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue within the HIV nursing workforce as determined by completion of the ProQOL 5 questionnaire
- To identify how compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue are distributed across the HIV nursing workforce in relation to demographic and professional characteristics and covid-19 related factors
- To provide detailed insights into the experiences of those reporting compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue, and those factors which have contributed positively or negatively to their professional quality of life
- To develop evidence-based recommendations that can contribute to supporting and improving psychological wellbeing of HIV nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey.
