Burnout is a common psychosocial phenomenon among nursing. It has been attributed to prolonged exposure to stress in the work place. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of burnout among nurses in the primary health care centers in Saudi Arabia.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 nurses by using a self-administered questionnaire. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was used to measure burnout.
Most participants were females (73.0%) and aged ≤35 years (52.0%). About 39% had high emotional exhaustion, 38% had high depersonalization and 85.5% had low personal accomplishment. About 89% (178) scored high at least on one subscale of burnout. Burnout was associated with age, educational level and sources of stress in the workplace.
Level of burnout among nurses was high and was associated mainly with stressors in the workplace. Improving work environment and management of stress in the workplace should be a priority to minimize burnout among nurses.
职业倦怠是护理行业常见的社会心理现象。它被认为是由于长期暴露于工作场所的压力所致。本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯初级卫生保健中心护士职业倦怠的患病率及相关因素。
本横断面研究通过自填式问卷对200名护士进行调查。采用马氏职业倦怠量表-人类服务调查(MBI-HSS)来测量职业倦怠。
大多数参与者为女性(73.0%),年龄≤35岁(52.0%)。约39%的人情感耗竭程度高,38%的人去个性化程度高,85.5%的人个人成就感低。约89%(178人)在职业倦怠的至少一个子量表上得分高。职业倦怠与年龄、教育水平和工作场所的压力源有关。
护士的职业倦怠程度较高,主要与工作场所的压力源有关。改善工作环境和管理工作场所的压力应成为优先事项,以尽量减少护士的职业倦怠。
