This study describes distress symptomatology and levels of job-related exhaustion in a sample of 153 hospital nurses currently caring for AIDS patients. While the level of emotional exhaustion in the sample was not alarmingly high, these nurses did report symptoms of distress. Levels of emotional exhaustion were related to a variety of personal demographic, AIDS-specific, and job-related factors. These factors included: age, income, years of practice on the unit, recent change in shift, type of unit, discomfort caring for AIDS patients, willingness to continue caring for AIDS patients, number of AIDS patients cared for, job tension, job influence, and enthusiasm about returning to work. Regression analysis indicated, however, that six general job-related factors accounted for about 46% of the variation in emotional exhaustion. These results suggest that general job-related factors such as 8-hour shifts, changing shifts, level of job tension, and other factors characterizing all hospital care are particularly worthy of future study.
本研究描述了153名目前照料艾滋病患者的医院护士样本中的苦恼症状及与工作相关的倦怠水平。虽然样本中的情绪耗竭水平并非高得惊人，但这些护士确实报告了苦恼症状。情绪耗竭水平与多种个人人口统计学因素、艾滋病特定因素及工作相关因素有关。这些因素包括：年龄、收入、在该科室的工作年限、近期班次变动、科室类型、照料艾滋病患者时的不适感、继续照料艾滋病患者的意愿、照料的艾滋病患者数量、工作紧张程度、工作影响力以及重返工作岗位的热情。然而，回归分析表明，六个一般工作相关因素约占情绪耗竭变异的46%。这些结果表明，诸如8小时轮班、班次变动、工作紧张程度以及所有医院护理工作共有的其他因素等一般工作相关因素尤其值得未来研究。
