The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of coping skills and career aspirations on career doubts among undergraduate students at Isfahan University. The design of this study, which is a basic research, is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population includes all BA students of Isfahan University in the academic year 2018–2019. The sample group consists of 248 students (154 females and 94 males) that was selected using stratified random sampling proportional to the sample size. The data collection instruments includes Career Doubt Questionnaire (CDQ), Academic and Career Aspirations Questionnaire (ACAQ), and Coping Inventory (CI). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis in SPSS-23 software. The results indicate that there is a significant negative relationship between task-oriented coping skills, educational and career aspirations, and career doubts. There is also a significant positive relationship between disengagement orientation coping skills and career doubts. Besides, disengagement coping skills predicted 34% of the variance in career doubts in the first step and 36% in the second step along with academic career aspirations. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of coping skills other than engagement increases students' career doubts.Moreover, academic career desires along with disengagement-oriented coping strategies play a role in career doubts.

Working with chronically ill children can overwhelm for professionals. It is necessary to study the factors related to compassion fatigue and satisfaction in order to effectively deal with it. Using a narrative review and inclusion criteria, we searched online databases for related studies from 2000 to 2023. Twelve articles were included in the final review. Understanding compassion fatigue/satisfaction will help to solve personal and professional problems and increase productivity, leading to positive outcomes for the patient, family, and the organization. This study identifies several factors that contribute to compassion fatigue (CF) in pediatric healthcare providers. These factors include workload, patient connections, lack of support, exposure to trauma, personal trauma, job dissatisfaction, and neglecting self-care. It is crucial to address these factors through targeted interventions and organizational support. Implementing evidence-based interventions shows promise in reducing the impact of CF, fostering a resilient healthcare workforce, and improving patient care. © The Author(s) 2024.
