To investigate the impacts of social support and psychological detachment on nurses' job burnout, as well as to validate psychological detachment's mediating effect.
The study was conducted using a questionnaire-based cross-sectional design.
From October 2023 to March 2024, convenience sampling was used to distribute electronic questionnaires (including a general information questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Psychological Detachment Scale, and the Social Support Scale) to investigate the current state of job burnout, psychological detachment, and social support among nurses. A total of 325 nurses were included in the study. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0 software and the SPSS Process 4.1 plug-in.
Results showed that both social support and psychological detachment were negatively correlated with job burnout. Excluding general demographic characteristics, social support was negatively associated with job burnout through psychological detachment, where psychological detachment mediated social support and emotionally exhausting job burnout with a mediating effect of 8.93%.
Nurses' job burnout can be mitigated by both social support and psychological detachment, with psychological detachment acting as a mediation of the effect of social support.
Nursing managers should take measures to enhance the social support of nurses appropriately. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange work reasonably and establish a solid communication mechanism to improve nurses' psychological detachment and reduce nurses' job burnout.

探讨社会支持和心理脱离对护士职业倦怠的影响，并验证心理脱离的中介作用。
本研究采用基于问卷的横断面设计。
2023年10月至2024年3月，采用便利抽样法发放电子问卷（包括一般信息问卷、马氏职业倦怠量表、心理脱离量表和社会支持量表），调查护士职业倦怠、心理脱离和社会支持的现状。共有325名护士纳入研究。使用SPSS 29.0软件和SPSS Process 4.1插件进行统计分析。
结果显示，社会支持和心理脱离均与职业倦怠呈负相关。排除一般人口学特征后，社会支持通过心理脱离与职业倦怠呈负相关，心理脱离在社会支持与情绪衰竭职业倦怠之间起中介作用，中介效应为8.93%。
社会支持和心理脱离均可减轻护士的职业倦怠，心理脱离在社会支持的作用中起中介作用。
护理管理者应采取措施适当增强护士的社会支持。同时，有必要合理安排工作，建立稳固的沟通机制，以提高护士的心理脱离程度，降低护士的职业倦怠。
无患者或公众参与。
