The Relationships between Compassion Fatigue, Quiet Quitting, and Psychological Resilience in Healthcare Workers

Working conditions create an environment full of more difficulties every day. Especially in today's working life, increasing emotional burden and stress factors challenge the psychological resilience of individuals, which leads to compassion fatigue and ultimately to quiet quitting. The goal of this study is to conduct research on healthcare workers who have intensive working conditions considering the actuality of these concepts. In this study, data were collected from 263 healthcare workers serving in private healthcare institutions on the European side of Istanbul, selected by convenience sampling, and analyses were performed using the SPSS 24 software. According to the results, compassion fatigue had a positive relationship to quiet quitting and a negative relationship to psychological resilience. Additionally, a negative relationship was found between psychological resilience and quiet quitting. In other analyses, it was concluded that compassion fatigue positively affected quiet quitting, while psychological resilience negatively affected compassion fatigue and quiet quitting.
