Abstract The study examines the effect of nurses' compassion fatigue levels on their intention to leave work. The research population consists of nurses working in a private hospital in Samsun. The study used an introductory information form containing the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, the Compassion Fatigue Scale, and the Intention to Leave Work Scale. Descriptive statistical methods, t-tests in two independent samples, one-way analysis of variance, correlation, and regression analyses were used to analyze the data. It was observed that nurses' compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and job burnout had a significant and positive effect on their intention to leave work. To reduce the dismissal status of nurses in health institutions, it can be recommended to disseminate measures that will reduce nurses' compassion fatigue and increase their motivation (education, appreciation, reducing workload, etc.) during the care process.
