the mediating role of ambiguity intolerance and worry in the relationship between resilience and fatigue compassion in the nurses

This study aimed to determine the mediating role of ambiguity intolerance and worry in the relationship between resilience and fatigue compassion in nurses. the research method employed a descriptive-correlational design, and the statistical population of this study consisted of all nurses working in hospitals in tehran province in 2024. a convenience sampling method was used to select 220 nurses from this population. the study tools were included connor-davidson resilience scale (2003), the compassion fatigue inventory by saberi et al. (2017), penn state worry questionnaire by meyer et al. (1990), and the ambiguity tolerance scale-ii by mclain (2009). structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. the results showed that worry mediates the relationship between resilience and fatigue compassion negatively and significantly (β=-0.096, p=0.001). ambiguity intolerance mediates the relationship between resilience and fatigue compassion negatively and significantly (β=-0.050, p=0.029). based on the results of the present study, it seems that the lack of resilience among nurses in ambiguous and worrying situations causes burnout and fatigue compassion.
