“…This result can be explained by the fact that single and married nurses have the same stressors because of high work pressures and work the same hours. This pattern was also reported by Higashiguchi et al [27], but disagrees with the findings of Okwaraji & Aguwa [28] and Lasebikan & Oyetunde [26], who reported that burnout occurred more often in single nurses, and with other studies, which found that married nurses experienced higher levels of burnout than single nurses [29]. Table 6 shows that there is no significant association between burnout in nurses based on their experience (F = 0.26, P = 0.76), since nurses are overloaded, lack sufficient support from coworkers and managers, and handle large numbers of patients every day.…”

SummaryThis study was conducted to evaluate burnout among nurses and teachers in Jordan, and to explore the differences between them. Several demographic factors were examined to evaluate their effect on burnout levels in both professions. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and was performed on 240 participants: 120 nurses and 120 teachers. A modified Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-modified) was used to assess the three dimensions of burnout. The results of this study showed moderate levels of burnout among both nurses and teachers; however, statistical analysis indicated that nurses had significantly higher levels of burnout than teachers. Moreover, the study showed that gender, marital status and experience significantly affected the level of burnout in teachers, but not in nurses. Educational level did not affect the level of burnout in either group. The study should help in setting proper intervention plans and psychological programs to tackle this important problem in both professions. burnout, nurses, teachers BACKGROUND

“…The unmarried nurses were found to be more stressed than the married ones. The unmarried nurses have less family responsibilities; hence, the single nurses were likely assigned with more tasks and less official leaves and support groups, which dispose them to WRS (Okwaraji & En, ). Almalki et al () explained that the unmarried nurses from PHCCs in Saudi Arabia were mostly of young age such that they may not have developed the skills to overcome the challenges at work.…”

“…Among the above-mentioned professions, nurses are highly susceptible to burnout as on the one hand they are subject to physical and psychological pressures and on the other hand they should remain motivated at the same time (Okwaraji and En, 2014). Galea (2014) showed that gradual effects of occupational burnout first appear in personality and behavior of nurses and eventually in their health and attitudes of the individual.…”

On the relationship between safety climate and occupational burnout in healthcare organizations

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

a b s t r a c tThe important concepts of safety climate and occupational burnout have been widely addressed by healthcare professionals. However, few researchers conducted comprehensive and detailed studies to investigate the relationship between safety climate and burnout, especially in healthcare organizations. The purpose of the study is therefore to investigate and establish a relationship between safety climate and occupational burnout. In addition, the relationship between job and socio-demographic characteristics (JSDC) with both safety climate and burnout is examined. In the present study a cross-sectional design was conducted using questionnaires to measure safety climate, occupational burnout and JSDC of nurses while descriptive, inferential statistics, path analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to test the relationships between the three parameters. The findings show a significant relationship between safety climate and unit type, job satisfaction, job interest, and stress. Likewise, there is a strong relationship between the lack of personal accomplishment and job satisfaction, job interest and stress. Also, safety climate has a strong correlation with both the frequency and the severity of occupational burnout dimensions. The results of the SEM also support a negative correlation between occupational burnout and safety climate, where a decrease in the latter is associated with an increase in the former.
