A sample of 160 nurses of age (M=33.48, SD=9.18) was&nbsp;selected from public hospitals of Lahore. The nurses completed a demographic information form, Multidimensional<br>Scale of Perceived Social Supportand Professional Quality of Life Scale. The data were analyzed&nbsp;using SPSS version 20. Two demographic variables, age and experience had significant positive correlation&nbsp;with compassion fatigue, r =.252, n=160, p &lt;.01 and r =.256, n=160, p &lt;.01 respectively. Other demographic<br>variables i.e. working hours and monthly income had no significant relationship with the subscales of Professional&nbsp;Quality of Life (compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue and burnout). Perceived Social Support&nbsp;had a significant correlation with compassion satisfaction, r=.222, n=160, p&lt;.01. It was concluded that the&nbsp;relationship between age, experience and compassion fatigue of nurses was significantly positive. The greater&nbsp;the age and experience of the nurses the more likely they are to have compassion fatigue. Perceived Social&nbsp;Support was related with compassion satisfaction which suggests that nurses’ perception of social support&nbsp;can increase their compassion satisfaction.</p> ER -
