The aims of this study were to describe burnout, mental health, and healthy lifestyle behaviors of nurses in a managerial role and assess associations among workplace culture factors (perceived culture, mattering, support, and staff shortages) with burnout, mental health outcomes, and healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Nurse managers foster unit-based wellness cultures, yet burnout and mental health problems adversely impact the culture and well-being of staff.
A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was used. The Florida Organization for Nursing Leadership enabled distribution of a wellness survey to nurse managers.
There were 125 participants. Healthy lifestyle behaviors were infrequently practiced. Analysis revealed significant correlations among workplace culture factors, burnout, and mental health outcomes. When compared with nurse managers with staff shortages, those without staff shortages were 6.11 times more likely to not screen positive for burnout.
Health systems should address workplace culture factors and staff shortages to reduce burnout, improve mental health, and enhance healthy behaviors in nurse managers.
本研究旨在描述护士长的职业倦怠、心理健康和健康生活方式行为,并评估工作场所文化因素(感知文化、重要性、支持和人员短缺)与职业倦怠、心理健康结果和健康生活方式行为之间的关系。
护士长促进了基于单位的健康文化,但职业倦怠和心理健康问题会对员工的文化和幸福感产生不利影响。
采用横断面描述性相关性设计。佛罗里达州护理领导组织使护士长能够进行一项健康调查。
共有 125 名参与者。健康的生活方式行为很少被实践。分析显示,工作场所文化因素、职业倦怠和心理健康结果之间存在显著相关性。与人员短缺的护士长相比,人员不短缺的护士长职业倦怠筛查呈阳性的可能性低 6.11 倍。
卫生系统应解决工作场所文化因素和人员短缺问题,以减少护士长的职业倦怠,改善心理健康,并促进其健康行为。
