Abstract: Objective To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of nurses' professional life quality in 215 hospitals of 29 provinces in China,analyze the relationships between professional life quality and self-compassion,therefore providing scientific basis for improving nurses' professional life quality. Methods By the convenience sampling method,a total of 12 316 nurses from 215 hospitals in 29 provinces were investigated with the general information questionnaire,professional life quality scale and self-compassion scale-short form from January to March in 2022,and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of empathy satisfaction, job burnout and secondary trauma in 12 316 nurses were （32.05±6.33）,（27.46±4.69） and （28.81±6.50）points,respectively. 78.6% of nurses had moderate and high compassion satisfaction,77.5% of nurses had moderate and severe burnout and 71.5% of nurses had moderate and severe secondary traumatic stress. The compassion satisfaction was positively correlated with self-compassion（r=0.266,P<0.01）,while the compassion fatigue（job burnout and secondary traumatic stress） was negatively correlated with self-compassion（r=-0.458,-2.227,both P<0.01）. The professional title,position,working years and self-compassion were the influencing factor of empathy satisfaction in nurses（all P<0.05）. The professional title,position,education background,age and self-compassion were the influencing factor of job burnout in nurses（all P<0.05）. The professional title,position,education background,and self-compassion were the influencing factor of secondary trauma in nurses（all P<0.05）. Conclusions Totally 12 316 nurses from 215 hospitals in 29 provinces mainly have moderate and high empathy satisfaction,as well as moderate and severe empathy fatigue. It is necessary to pay attention to the nursing population with low professional title,position,educational background and young age,less work experience. At the same time,the empathy satisfaction can be improved by increasing the level of self compassion among nurses,so as to reduce the empathy fatigue.
