PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction on burnout in psychiatric nurses and the moderating effects of social support. METHODS: The participants were 214 psychiatric nurses from G city & C, G, J province. Data were collected from October 23 to November 6, 2015 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple regression analysis and moderated regression analysis. RESULTS: Secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction had significant influence on burnout in psychiatric nurses. The explained variance for burnout was 67%. However, social support did not moderate the effect of secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction on burnout. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that burnout in psychiatric nurses may have a direct influence on their nursing services.
