Understanding the interplay of compassion fatigue and moral resilience on moral distress in ICU nurses: a cross-sectional study

Compassion fatigue and moral distress are interconnected phenomena among ICU nurses. Demographic factors like gender, age, education, and income satisfaction impact compassion fatigue risk. High compassion fatigue impairs moral resilience, exacerbating moral distress. Comprehensive interventions targeting both compassion fatigue and moral resilience, tailored to nurses' demographic profiles, are needed to support this workforce.
