Nurses' resilience and occupational satisfaction are important factors for preventing burnout, compassion fatigue and turnover of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. This study determined the relationship between resilience and occupational satisfaction, burnout and compassion fatigue in Turkish intensive care unit nurses. This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 79 ICU nurses. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Life Quality Scale for Workers, and the Resilience Scale for Adults. The mean scores for the ProQOL subscale scores were examined; occupational satisfaction 24.64 ± 8.45, burnout 19.17 ± 6.24 and compassion fatigue 13.45 ± 5.69. The resilience scale total score was 128.67 ± 14.84. There is a positive moderate relation between resilience and occupational satisfaction, and a negative moderate relation between resilience and burnout. Improving the resilience of ICU nurses can be a useful strategy for decreasing their occupational satisfaction and burnout. Nurse managers may use the results of this study for designing programs to facilitate the development of resilience in all nurses working in intensive care units.
