3.2. Qualitative Description of Nurse Measures. During the
pilot study, nursing staff reported some compassion fatigue
as well as low patient involvement in the ward and low levels
of staff support for patients; nonetheless, they endorsed high
levels of both personal development and system maintenance within the ward. With regards to burnout, nurses in the
pilot study experienced high levels of emotional exhaustion,
low levels of depersonalization, and average levels of personal
accomplishment during the pilot phase of the study.
The nurses enjoyed their active involvement in developing
the interventions and found the interventions themselves
empowering and relatable, as many were taken from video
observations of their own nursing behaviors or of nurses they
knew.
