Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between family caregiver demographic characteristics and compassion fatigue for caregivers who were caring for family members with end-stage heart failure. Specifically, the study examined the relation of compassion satisfaction, social desirability, and the relationship between the family caregiver and nursing provider on compassion fatigue. The research was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic and examined the family caregiver perception of the effect of COVID-19 on caregiving routines.
