Work-Related Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, And Nurse Intention To Leave The Profession During Covid-19, Jacqueline Christianson, Norah L. Johnson, Amanda Nelson, Maharaj Singh
Work-Related Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, And Nurse Intention To Leave The Profession During Covid-19, Jacqueline Christianson, Norah L. Johnson, Amanda Nelson, Maharaj Singh
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
The purpose of this mixed-method study was to understand the relationships between work-related burnout (WRB), compassion fatigue (CF), and intention to leave the nursing profession. The Job Demands-Resources model was used to predict intention to leave as a function of WRB, CF, and caring for COVID-19 patients in a sample of 1299 US nurses. Greater WRB and CF scores were associated with intention to leave the profession. Contrary to prior research, working with COVID-19 patients was associated with greater intention to stay in nursing. Personal finances may represent the rationale for nurses to choose to stay nurses despite burnout.

Case Reports From Women Using A Quantitative Hormone Monitor To Track The Perimenopause Transition, Maria Meyers, Richard J. Fehring, Mary Schneider
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
The fertility tracking of menstrual cycles during perimenopause with a quantitative hormone monitor is a novel undertaking. Women in regular menstrual cycles have been tracking their fertility using different biomarkers since the 1960′s. Presently, there are newer electronic hormonal devices used to track fertility that provide more exact and objective data to help delineate the fertile time frame of a woman’s cycle. These devices measure quantitative levels of estrogen, the luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone, all of which occur at varying levels during the menstrual cycle. As women advance toward menopause, their cycles vary in length, and their hormones …
