The stress of conscience occurs in stressful situations that are often encountered in healthcare, leading to an uncomfortable conscience in healthcare workers. They may not be able to control their emotions and feel burnout. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of stress of conscience on burnout in healthcare workers.
This cross-sectional study was performed with 602 healthcare workers between November 2020 and January 2021 in Turkey. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, Stress of Conscience Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory.
A positive and high-level relationship was found between the stress of conscience and burnout (r = 0.603, p < 0.001). The stress of conscience accounted for 36% of burnout. Also, female healthcare workers have high stress of conscience and burnout scores.
This study is important in terms of realising the stress and burnout of healthcare workers and for health managers to recognise the stress types of their workers. The increase in the level of burnout of healthcare workers is associated with their stress of conscience. Using the results of this study, national and international consensus can be obtained to reduce the impact of the stress of conscience on healthcare workers.
良心压力出现在医疗保健中经常遇到的压力情境中，导致医护人员良心不安。他们可能无法控制自己的情绪并感到倦怠。因此，本研究的目的是评估良心压力对医护人员倦怠的影响。
这项横断面研究于2020年11月至2021年1月在土耳其对602名医护人员进行。使用社会人口学表格、良心压力量表和马氏倦怠量表收集数据。
良心压力与倦怠之间存在积极且高水平的关系（r = 0.603，p < 0.001）。良心压力占倦怠的36%。此外，女性医护人员的良心压力和倦怠得分较高。
本研究对于了解医护人员的压力和倦怠以及健康管理者认识其员工的压力类型具有重要意义。医护人员倦怠水平的增加与其良心压力有关。利用本研究结果，可以达成国内和国际共识，以减少良心压力对医护人员的影响。
