Abstract
This review has several limitations. Many studies included in this review had small sample sizes, were conducted at 1 hospital setting or unit, and used weak study designs. Several studies also used different interventions and measurement approaches, making it difficult to compare and synthesize findings and outcomes. Thus, the heterogeneity of studies limited our ability to draw strong conclusions about different types of interventions. Additional and more rigorous studies examining interventions to decrease and manage compassion fatigue in intensive care unit nurses are needed. There is also a need to foster better generalizability of research findings.
