Reporting followed the STROBE checklist. The study population consisted of healthcare professionals working in private and public hemodialysis centers in Turkey. A non\u2010probability snowball sampling method was used. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form, the Compassion Fatigue\u2013Short Scale, and the Brain Fog Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the participants, 82.0% were female, and 33.6% were between 36 and 45\u2009years of age. Participants reported moderate levels of compassion fatigue (59.67\u2009\u00b1\u200921.25) and high levels of brain fog (80.01\u2009\u00b1\u200926.53). A strong positive correlation was observed between compassion fatigue and brain fog (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.744,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
