Burnout is a phenomenon in which the cumulative effects of a stressful work environment gradually overwhelm the defenses of staff members, forcing them to withdraw psychologically. This study compared the levels of burnout among nurses in different nursing specialties.
The sample of the study consisted of all the nurses working in all public hospitals in Shiraz, Iran who were graduates of either technological educational institutions or universities and had experienced clinical nursing practice for at least 1 year. Using Maslach Burnout Inventory and General Health Questionnaire (28-item version), we identified the psychiatric morbidity and burnout among nurses.
Study results indicated that nurses of psychiatry wards showed significantly higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in comparison with nurses working in other wards, and burn wards nurses showed significantly higher levels of personal accomplishment. Also, nurses who were single were more emotionally exhausted.
Different clinical working environments appear to have an impact on the development of nurses' burnout.
职业倦怠是一种现象，即压力大的工作环境的累积影响逐渐压垮工作人员的心理防线，迫使他们在心理上退缩。本研究比较了不同护理专业护士的职业倦怠水平。
该研究样本包括伊朗设拉子所有公立医院的护士，这些护士毕业于技术教育机构或大学，且有至少1年的临床护理实践经验。我们使用马氏职业倦怠量表和一般健康问卷（28项版本）来确定护士的精神疾病发病率和职业倦怠情况。
研究结果表明，与其他病房的护士相比，精神科病房的护士表现出显著更高水平的情感耗竭和去人格化，而烧伤病房的护士表现出显著更高水平的个人成就感。此外，单身护士的情感耗竭程度更高。
不同的临床工作环境似乎对护士职业倦怠的发展有影响。
