Occupational burnout is particularly common among nurses due to their work being associated with stress, showing understanding, compassion, and commitment, along with the simultaneous need to maintain the necessary emotional distance. The aim of this review was to assess the occurrence and characterization of burnout among nurses working within neurology, geriatric care, intensive care units and with patients infected with the novel COVID-19 virus. PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct the review. The search for literature was limited to articles meeting the inclusion criteria and published from 2017 to 2022 in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Wiley. A total of 768 articles from this category have been found. Ultimately, after in-depth analysis, 20 articles were included in the study. The group of respondents ranged from 49 to 3100 participants. According to the data, the percentages of nurses suffering from burnout in the presented research ranged from 14.3% to 84.7%, with the highest value of burnout among nurses who worked in the ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are certain factors among nurses that significantly affect the occurrence of burnout. These include, among others, working time, age, exposure to infection and contact with infected patients, lack of training on COVID-19 prevention, providing care to an increased number of COVID-19 patients per shift, lack of personal protective equipment, lack of support of administration, lack of pay satisfaction, intrinsic motivation and turnover intention.
职业倦怠在护士中尤为常见，这是由于他们的工作与压力有关，需要表现出理解、同情和承诺，同时需要保持必要的情感距离。本综述的目的是评估在神经病学、老年护理、重症监护病房工作的护士以及与新型 COVID-19 病毒感染者接触的护士中，倦怠的发生和特征。研究使用 PRISMA 指南进行。文献检索仅限于符合纳入标准的文章，且发表时间为 2017 年至 2022 年，检索数据库包括 PubMed、Scopus、Science Direct、Google Scholar 和 Wiley。从这一类别中共发现了 768 篇文章。最终，经过深入分析，有 20 篇文章被纳入研究。受访者群体的范围从 49 人到 3100 人不等。根据数据，在提出的研究中，患有倦怠的护士比例从 14.3%到 84.7%不等，在 COVID-19 大流行期间在 ICU 工作的护士中，倦怠值最高。在护士中存在一些显著影响倦怠发生的因素。这些因素包括工作时间、年龄、感染暴露和与感染患者的接触、缺乏 COVID-19 预防培训、每班次照顾 COVID-19 患者的人数增加、缺乏个人防护设备、管理层缺乏支持、薪酬满意度低、内在动机和离职意向。
