Research has not adequately focused on the issue of burnout in Psychiatric nurses, despite the fact that they suffer considerable stress in their work. Till date no study has been conducted on burnout among psychiatric nurses in India. Further, there is a particular lack of research in internal variables predicting burnout in them.
To determine whether there are any internal psychological factors relevant to burnout in psychiatric nurses in India.
We recruited 101 psychiatric nurses scoring less than two in General Health Questionnaire, version 12 (GHQ-12) from two psychiatric hospitals after obtaining informed consent. All subjects filled up a sociodemographic data sheet along with global adjustment scale, emotional maturity scale, PGI general well-being scale, locus of control scale, and Copenhagen burnout inventory (CBI). Correlations between burnout and sociodemographic/clinical variables were done by Pearson's r or Spearman's rho. Signi ficant variables were entered in a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis with total burnout score as dependent variable.
Age, duration of total period of nursing, prior military training, locus of control, sense of general well-being, adjustment capabilities, and emotional maturity had significant relation with burnout. Of them, emotional maturity was the most significant protective factors against burnout along with adjustment capabilities, sense of physical well-being, and military training in decreasing significance. Together they explained 41% variation in total burnout score which is significant at <0.001 level. An internal locus of control was inversely correlated with burnout, but failed to predict it in regression analysis.
Emotional maturity, adjustability, sense of general physical well-being as well as prior military training significantly predicted lower burnout. Of them, emotional maturity was the most important predictor. Internal locus of control was also correlated with lower burnout.
尽管精神科护士在工作中承受着相当大的压力，但研究尚未充分关注他们的职业倦怠问题。迄今为止，印度尚未开展关于精神科护士职业倦怠的研究。此外，尤其缺乏对预测他们职业倦怠的内部变量的研究。
确定印度精神科护士职业倦怠是否存在与之相关的内部心理因素。
在获得知情同意后，我们从两家精神病院招募了101名在一般健康问卷第12版（GHQ - 12）中得分低于2分的精神科护士。所有受试者填写了一份社会人口统计学数据表，以及总体适应量表、情绪成熟度量表、PGI总体幸福感量表、控制点量表和哥本哈根职业倦怠量表（CBI）。职业倦怠与社会人口统计学/临床变量之间的相关性通过Pearson积矩相关系数r或Spearman等级相关系数rho进行分析。将显著变量纳入以总职业倦怠得分为因变量的逐步多元线性回归分析。
年龄、护理总时长、先前的军事训练、控制点、总体幸福感、适应能力和情绪成熟度与职业倦怠有显著关系。其中，情绪成熟度是预防职业倦怠最显著的保护因素，其次是适应能力、身体健康感和军事训练，其重要性依次降低。它们共同解释了总职业倦怠得分中41% 的变异，在<0.001水平上具有显著性。内控点与职业倦怠呈负相关，但在回归分析中未能预测职业倦怠。
情绪成熟度、适应能力、总体身体健康感以及先前的军事训练显著预测了较低的职业倦怠水平。其中，情绪成熟度是最重要的预测因素。内控点也与较低的职业倦怠相关。
