NR 501 NP Week 3 Concept Analysis- Compassion Fatigue

Concept Analysis: Compassion Fatigue Nursing may simply appear to be carrying out tasks ordered by a provider to many patients and families. Most only see the surface of what nursing care consists of, failing to realize that decades of research and concept implementation have fine-tuned the current art of nursing. Concept analysis allows nurses to take a generalized idea and explore it further by examining previously developed nursing concepts, giving the nurse a guideline to perform competent nursing care. Concept analysis, as defined by Raiesifar, Parvizy, Bozorgzad, Poortaghi, Davoudi, and Masoumi (2019), is a research method that allows for an expansion of knowledge regarding a chosen concept, therefore aiding in performance by clarifying and increasing understanding of the idea. By allowing nurses and nurse practitioners (NP) to gain a better understanding of the concept, they can develop theories to explore and research, allowing them to discover ways to provide better care to their patients.
