Background: The persistent physical and mental burden led to the gradual increase of nurses’
compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue has been identified as an important factor that seriously
affects nurses’ health and work efficiency. Administration caring can improve nurses’ self-confidence
and job satisfaction, and also help to improve the quality of nursing service. However, at present,
nursing managers have not paid enough attention to the care for nurses.

Objective: To identify the latent class of compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring
characteristics in dermatology nurses, and to compare the differences of different classes, so as to
provide ideas for targeted interventions.

Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to survey 553 nurses in dermatology from 22
districts in 10 Provinces via a web-based questionnaire. Latent Profile analysis was used to explore
the latent class of compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring. Logistic multiple
regression analysis was used to compare the characteristics of each latent class.

Results: The compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring of dermatology nurses could
be divided into 4 classes, including low compassion fatigue high perceived administration caring
type (17.00%), intermediate compassion fatigue intermediate perceived administration caring type
(40.33%), high compassion fatigue low perceived administration caring type (30.92%) and high
compassion fatigue high perceived Noncaring type (11.75%). The results of logistic regression showed
Oral Presentation Abstracts
that the compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring of dermatology nurses have
obvious difference for the nurses’ age, working lifetime, professional title, position, working experience
in the ward, job satisfaction, night shift, the choice of weather being a nurse if getting chance (P<0.05).

Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in the compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring
for dermatological nurses. It suggested that nursing managers should provide corresponding
humanistic care according to the characteristics of different classes and take targeted measures to
improve the compassion fatigue and perceived administration caring of dermatology nurses.

Keywords: dermatology nurses, compassion fatigue, perceived administration caring, latent profile
