Abstract
OBJECTIVES: to analyze the relationship between compassion fatigue among health care professionals and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, assessing this condition's impact on the quality of care and the effectiveness of health services. METHODS: scoping review performed according to JBI methodological guidance and the PRISMA-ScR checklist, with searches in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO. Of the 245 studies identified, 20 were included in the final analysis. RESULTS: findings suggest that compassion fatigue may compromise the quality of care, increase clinical errors and staff turnover, and reduce decision-making capacity. The absence of institutional support can intensify these impacts. CONCLUSIONS: institutional strategies are necessary to mitigate the effects of compassion fatigue among health care professionals and ensure safe, equitable care that aligns with the principles of the 2030 Agenda.
