Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim and objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of motivational notifications applied to emergency nurses on job satisfaction, compassion fatigue and communication skills during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Emergency room nurses working on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic; many factors such as excessive workload, prolonged working hours, threat of infection, death of the patients they care for have caused them to experience physical, social and psychological problems.

Design: It is a randomized controlled, open-label study. Methods: This study was carried out with a total of 60 nurses working in the emergency units of two training and research hospitals in Istanbul. Participants were divided into motivational group and control group. Motivational notifications were sent via Short Message Service (SMS) to the mobile phones of the participants in the motivational group (n=30) for 21 days. No motivational notification was sent to the control group (n=30) during this process. Data were obtained with the Individual Introduction Form, Job Satisfaction, Compassion Fatigue and Communication Skills Scale.
