The nursing profession is extremely stressful. Career nurses are at risk of burnout from long-term exposure to overwhelming demands. The process of burnout creates serious consequences for both employees and their organizations. The employee with burnout can experience serious emotional and physical problems that can potentially lower productivity. Although the process of burnout has been examined, little has been done to determine the organizational and individual features that may distinguish between low, moderate, and high levels of burnout. This article attempts to explain the process of burnout, different levels of burnout, and organizational and attitudinal factors that may affect burnout. If specific job-related factors increase the likelihood of burnout, then the modification of these factors might actually decrease the incidence of burnout.
护理行业压力极大。职业护士因长期面临过高要求而有倦怠风险。倦怠过程会给员工及其所在组织带来严重后果。患有倦怠症的员工可能会出现严重的情绪和身体问题，这可能会降低工作效率。尽管人们已经对倦怠过程进行了研究，但在确定可能区分低、中、高倦怠水平的组织和个人特征方面，所做的工作还很少。本文试图解释倦怠过程、不同程度的倦怠以及可能影响倦怠的组织和态度因素。如果与工作相关的特定因素增加了倦怠的可能性，那么对这些因素进行调整实际上可能会降低倦怠的发生率。
