Suffering repeated experiences of moral distress in intensive care units due to applications of futility reflects on nurses' patient care negatively, increases their burnout, and reduces their job satisfaction. This study was carried out to investigate the levels of job satisfaction and exhaustion suffered by intensive care nurses and the relationship between them through the futility dimension of the issue. The study included 138 intensive care nurses. The data were obtained with the futility questionnaire developed by the researchers, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. It was determined that nurses who agreed to the proposition that the application of futility demoralizes health-care professionals had low levels of job satisfaction but high levels of depersonalization. It was determined that nurses had moderate levels of job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion, and personal achievements but high levels of sensitivity. Nurses' job satisfaction and sensitivities are positively affected when they consider that futility does not contradict the purposes of medicine.
由于无效应用而在重症监护病房反复经历道德困境会对护士的患者护理产生负面影响，增加他们的倦怠感，并降低他们的工作满意度。本研究旨在通过无效性这一问题维度，调查重症监护护士的工作满意度和倦怠感水平以及它们之间的关系。该研究包括 138 名重症监护护士。研究人员使用无效性问卷、Maslach 倦怠量表和明尼苏达满意度问卷获得了数据。结果表明，同意无效性使医疗保健专业人员士气低落这一说法的护士工作满意度较低，但去人格化程度较高。研究还发现，护士的工作满意度、情绪疲惫和个人成就处于中等水平，但敏感性较高。当护士认为无效性与医学目的不矛盾时，他们的工作满意度和敏感性会得到积极影响。
