Abstract

Objective: To present a study protocol to evaluate the efficacy of auricular acupuncture on compassion fatigue scores in nursing professionals, compared to the placebo group and control group.

Method: Randomized, controlled, double-blind, three-arm parallel clinical trial protocol, conducted with nursing professionals from a teaching hospital who present compassion fatigue. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to three groups to receive eight sessions of auricular acupuncture or follow-up. The primary outcome will be the compassion fatigue score, and the secondary outcome will be compassion satisfaction, measured by the Brazilian version of the Professional Quality of Life scale, and the depression, anxiety, and stress scores, measured by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale, Brazilian version.

Expected results: The results may strengthen the validity of auricular acupuncture to mitigate compassion fatigue, enabling its incorporation as a mental health care strategy for the nursing team in the workplace.

Final considerations: This protocol aims to test the efficacy of auricular acupuncture for compassion fatigue in hospital nursing professionals. In addition, it may contribute to the management of these professionals' quality of life and support future research on the application of this therapy by nurses. Record identifier RBR-28xttdt.

耳针治疗护理人员同情疲劳：一项随机临床试验方案。

目的：探讨耳针对护理专业人员同情疲劳评分的影响，并与安慰剂组和对照组进行比较。方法：采用随机、对照、双盲、三臂平行临床试验方案，对某教学医院出现同情疲劳的护理专业人员进行研究。志愿者将被随机分为三组，分别接受8次耳穴针灸或后续治疗。主要结果将是同情疲劳得分，次要结果将是同情满意度，由巴西版的职业生活质量量表测量，以及抑郁，焦虑和压力得分，由巴西版的抑郁，焦虑和压力量表测量。预期结果：本研究结果可强化耳针缓解同情疲劳的有效性，使其成为工作场所护理团队的一种心理健康护理策略。最后注意事项：本协议旨在测试耳针对医院护理专业人员同情疲劳的疗效。此外，它可能有助于管理这些专业人员的生活质量，并支持护士对该疗法应用的未来研究。记录标识符RBR-28xttdt。
