| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A comparison of compassion satisfaction by workplace showed that compassion satisfaction was highest in home care settings. In the analysis of each workplace, among the workplace environment factors, "values" in general wards, " reward" in palliative care units, and "control" and "community" in home care settings showed significant associations with compassion satisfaction, reflecting the characteristics of each workplace.
On the other hand, regarding the quality of end-of-life care, "workload" in general wards and "community" in palliative care units were found to be associated with the quality of end-of-life care, while none of the work environment factors were significantly associated in home care settings. This suggests that the quality of end-of-life care provided by home care nurses is not dependent on the work environment.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
訪問看護師の共感満足はこれまで報告がなく、本研究により訪問看護師の共感満足の高さが明らかとなり、看護師の共感満足を理解する上で重要な知見が得られた。さらには職場ごとに共感満足と関連する因子が明らかとなったことにより、今後の職場環境改善の介入研究につながる可能性がある。こちらの成果は国際誌International Journal of Nursing Studiesに掲載され、学術的意義が評価された。
社会的意義としては、今回の研究成果をもとにした介入研究にて、職場環境改善が看護師の共感満足の向上に有効であることが実証されれば、看護師の離職防止や終末期ケアの質の向上に大きく寄与すると考える。
