Abstract
The nurses develop a work activity centered on the care of others. This work is not satisfying, but it has also involved important levels of fatigue and deterioration in the quality of life. The purpose of this study was to establish predictors of quality of life related to the compassion in nurses in public hospitals in La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia. For them, they considered themselves as predictors of caregiver burden, burnout, and socio-occupational characteristics. The 500 nurses from four hospitals participated, 82,4% of whom were women, with a range of ages between 21 and 61 years. A descriptive and correlational non-experimental design was used, and cross-sectional. The data was taken in a sole for what corresponds to a transversal study. If it is found that the burnout factor of emotional exhaustion, the overload of the caregiver and the length of having children negatively predicts the quality of life related to the compassion. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between age and years of work experience with emotional exhaustion. It discusses the need to improve the working conditions that alleviate wear and tear, facilitate the work-family interaction, and promote a better quality of life among nurses.
