Project Description
The nursing burnout project centers on identifying major burnout patterns for nurses and the differences in burnout profiles of nurses compared to other healthcare professionals. The project also aims to analyze the sources of stress and how healthcare workers respond to them in relation to burnout. Burnout rates are on the rise among healthcare workers, which can increase the risk of health concerns, as well as threaten the health and safety of patients. To examine nursing burnout, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Study (MBI-GS) was distributed, representing three components: emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy. So far findings of this project have indicated that nurses experience burnout differently than other medical professionals.
