Özet

Objectives: Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in palliative care. Palliative care professionals experience phys-ical, psychological, and emotional distress. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of psychodrama group therapy on palliative care nurses' coping and quality of life. Methods: This study adopted a single-group, repetitive-measurement (pretest, posttest, and follow-up) experimental design. The study population consisted of 15 nurses in the palliative care clinic of a training and research hospital on the European side of Istanbul. Twelve nurses participated in the first session; however, one nurse did not take the posttest and follow-up test. Therefore, the sample consisted of 11 nurses. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Ways of Coping Inventory (WCI), and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (PQLS). Results:There was a significant difference between the pretest, posttest, and follow-up test WCI helpless (p=.001) and submissive(p=.000) subscale scores as well as between the pretest, posttest, and follow-up test PQLS compassion fatigue (p=.003) subscale scores. Conclusion: Psychodrama group therapy helps palliative care nurses to use more effective coping strategies and ex-perience less compassion fatigue.
