“…The majority of studies that found a significant association between gender and burnout reported that female gender was a significant predictor of increased risk for burnout [38, 48, 52, 81, 89, 103, 105, 117, 125, 163, 165, 168, 173]. .…”

Background: Burnout is a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, increased depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment due to chronic emotional stress at work. Burnout impacts job satisfaction, job performance, vulnerability to illnesses, and interpersonal relationships. There is a gap in the systematic data on the burden of burnout among healthcare professionals from different sectors of healthcare in Middle Eastern countries. Our objective was to examine the burden of burnout among healthcare providers in the Middle East, how it was assessed, which sectors were included, and what interventions have been used. Methods: Articles were found through a systematic review of search results including PubMed, Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), and PsycINFO (EBSCO) using search terms reflecting burnout in Middle Eastern countries among populations of healthcare providers. Studies were included if they examined a quantitative measure of burnout among healthcare providers in the Middle East. Results: There were 138 articles that met our inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Studies focused on burnout in the Middle East among physicians (N = 54 articles), nurses (N = 55), combined populations of healthcare workers (N = 22), and medical students (N = 7). The Maslach Burnout Inventory was the most common tool to measure burnout. Burnout is common among physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, with prevalence estimates predominantly ranging between 40 and 60%. Burnout among healthcare providers in the Middle East is associated with characteristics of their work environments, exposure to violence and terror, and emotional distress and low social support. Conclusions: Burnout is highly prevalent among healthcare providers across countries in the Middle East. Previous studies examining burnout in this region have limitations in their methodology. More thoroughly developed epidemiologic studies of burnout are necessary. Health system strengthening is needed in a region that has endured years of ongoing conflict, and there is an urgency to design and implement programs that tackle burnout among health professionals.

“…In various studies, nurses considered themselves incompetent in providing spiritual care owing to grim working conditions, 8 inadequate information provided during their education and inability to find free time for getting trained on the subject.

“…6 The positive attitudes of nurses, such as having a sense of compassion towards patients, showing sufficient patience to listen to the patients, and taking enough time to fulfill their caregiver role increase the effectiveness of the treatment process. 7 In various studies, nurses considered themselves incompetent in providing spiritual care owing to grim working conditions, 8 inadequate information provided during their education and inability to find free time for getting trained on the subject.

Purpose This study aims to determine the relationship of nurses' perception of spirituality and spiritual care to the dimensions of professional quality of life, namely, nurses' compassion fatigue, burnout and compassion satisfaction, and identify the influencing factors, respectively. Design and methods The population consisted of 316 nurses (response rate: 91.32%) working in various clinics of a Training and Research Hospital (gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine and emergency service) between December 2018 and May 2019. Data was collected through the Socio‐Demographic Form, The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS). Findings A meaningful relationship between SSCRS and ProQOL's “burnout” and “compassion fatigue” subscales was granted (p < 0.001). In particular, the comparison of ProQOL subscales to SSCRS's “spirituality/spiritual care” and “religiosity” subscales revealed a negative and strong relationship (p < 0.01) while SSCRS's “personalized care” subscale yielded a very strong positive relationship (p < 0.001). The nurses' professional quality of life was affected by variables such as “monthly number of shifts,” “manner of work,” and “average weekly working hours.” It was determined that burnout was experienced at a higher level, whereas compassion fatigue at a moderate level. In terms of spirituality and spiritual care, the subscale mean scores for “spirituality/spiritual care,” “personalized care,” and “religiosity” were low. Practice implications In light of the research findings, the charge nurses and nursing managers should oversee variables such as monthly income, monthly number of shifts, average weekly working hours at all times in the context of spiritual care and professional quality of life. Institution managers need to be competent in the prioritization of employee requests, planning the number of employees taking into account the ratio of nurse/patient/clinic capacity. Institution managers should familiarize themselves with notions such as compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction and spiritual care to plan and sustain the activities of the institution while overwatching the needs of her/his employees along the way. Nurses could also benefit from counseling services and in‐service training programs contemplating sociodemographic and profession related variables that affect spiritual care and professional quality of life.

“…A espiritualidade é um fenômeno humano universal, mas o nível de consciência acerca desta sofre variação, de maneira que algumas pessoas expressam-na de forma mais perceptível que outras (4) . Porém, como já mencionado, existe uma linha tênue entre a percepção clara do que é religiosidade e do que é espiritualidade.…”

“…Em relação ao cuidado, a enfermagem é uma profissão que pressupõe grande proximidade entre as pessoas e esse contato requer do profissional capacidade e sensibilidade para lidar com todas as dimensões humanas, tais como biológica, mental, emocional e espiritual. Assim, frente a influência que a dimensão espiritual exerce sobre a vida das pessoas, torna-se de suma importância que haja conhecimento por parte da equipe de enfermagem sobre questões relacionadas à espiritualidade e à religiosidade para a oferta de um cuidado eficaz (4) .…”

O objetivo do estudo foi compreender a espiritualidade e a religiosidade como estratégias de enfrentamento do adoecimento e da morte na juventude. Este moldou-se como estudo de situação, de abordagem compreensiva, por meio da história de vida operacionalizada pela entrevista em profundidade e pela observação. As entrevistas e os relatos de observação foram transcritos e organizados no diário de pesquisa. Para a análise dos dados, as narrativas foram agrupadas em diferentes conjuntos temáticos que foram reiterados com a aglutinação de temas em novos conjuntos. Para essa comunicação, destacamos o tema relacionado à espiritualidade e à religiosidade presentes no corpus de dados. A espiritualidade e a religiosidade, fortemente imbricadas na vida da jovem, surgem como importantes estratégias de enfrentamento do adoecimento e finitude. Reafirma-se, assim, a importância de que o profissional enfermeiro considere as crenças, os valores de cada pessoa, e os muitos sentidos que são atribuídos às experiências espirituais e religiosas de cada enfermo. Enfim, saber lidar com o que não é palpável torna-se crucial no momento em que se coloca ao lado do outro que se prepara para deixar essa vida.
