The pandemic has intensified physical and psychological work demands experienced by nurses in a hospital environment. The purpose of this study was to examine personal and work environmental risk factors associated with occupational burnout among hospital nurses.
We conducted a cross-sectional from April to November 2020. Data from 831 nurses who worked professionally in four educational hospitals were compiled through survey questionnaires to report the prevalence of burnout, occupational and individual factors. Independent -test and Mann-Whitney test measured the link between the scopes of occupational burnout and risk factors.
About half of the participants indicated moderate symptoms of burnout. The fear of the nurses correlated significantly with emotional exhaustion ( = 0.71, = 0.001), depersonalization ( = 0.67, = 0.02), and personal accomplishment ( = 0.63, = 0.05). Mental demand ( = 0.74, = 0.01) and effort at work ( = 0.68, 0.001) correlated significantly with emotional exhaustion ( = 0.51, = 0.03).
The findings indicated a high prevalence of burnout symptoms, particularly emotional exhaustion, among hospital nursing professionals. Occupational health services should consider burnout as an occupational-related condition and provide interventions to reduce workplace chronic stressors and burnout in hospitals.
大流行加剧了医院环境中护士所经历的身心工作压力。本研究的目的是研究与医院护士职业倦怠相关的个人和工作环境风险因素。
我们于 2020 年 4 月至 11 月进行了一项横断面研究。通过问卷调查收集了在四所教育医院专业工作的 831 名护士的数据,以报告倦怠、职业和个体因素的流行率。独立检验和曼-惠特尼检验衡量了职业倦怠范围与风险因素之间的联系。
约一半的参与者表示有中度倦怠症状。护士的恐惧与情绪疲惫( = 0.71, = 0.001)、去人格化( = 0.67, = 0.02)和个人成就感( = 0.63, = 0.05)显著相关。心理需求( = 0.74, = 0.01)和工作努力( = 0.68,0.001)与情绪疲惫显著相关( = 0.51, = 0.03)。
研究结果表明,医院护理专业人员存在高度的倦怠症状,特别是情绪疲惫。职业健康服务机构应将倦怠视为与职业相关的状况,并提供干预措施,以减少医院工作场所的慢性压力源和倦怠。
