  • This study examined the influence of humanistic knowledge and occupational stress on the professional quality of life of clinical nurses. The data from 217 survey questionnaires collected from three general hospitals located in a metropolitan area from Jun 3 to 14, 2019 were used. The data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Scheffè test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS Statistics 23.0 program. The findings revealed a positive correlation between compassion satisfaction and humanistic knowledge and a negative correlation with Burnout. Burnout had a negative correlation with humanistic knowledge and a positive correlation with occupational stress and secondary traumatic stress. Secondary traumatic stress showed a positive correlation with occupational stress. Burnout, satisfaction for nursing, and working period were significant variables of the compassion satisfaction with an explanatory power of 48.5%. Compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, satisfaction for nursing, marriage, and occupational stress were significant variables of burnout with an explanatory power of 68.8%. Burnout and income were significant variables of secondary traumatic stress with an explanatory power of 21.9%. Burnout was found to be a significant variable of not only compassion satisfaction, but also compassion satisfaction. Therefore, efforts are needed to make efforts to prevent burnout.

Some experts predict that smart technology will completely change people's daily life and work styles, causing technological innovation, productivity improvement, and discovery and emergence of new fields. On the one hand, this vision cannot ignore negative views and concerns.
