“…In addition, nurses who work a regular shift in this study were usually on the morning shift. This finding is in agreement with those of Jamal and Baba (37), Glazer (38), and Krausz and Koslowsky (39) and in contrast to the study of Sahraian et al (40), who reported that nurses with regular schedules have more burnout than nurses on ro- tating shifts. The discrepancy between the results can be explained in terms of differences in workplaces.…”

Background: The burnout phenomenon is a complex and multidimensional reality and also a common metaphor for a state of extreme psychophysical exhaustion that is usually related to work. Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate nursing burnout in 371 registered nurses at both governmental and private hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that evaluated nursing burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Independent sample T-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed to determine the association between demographic factors, the nurses' working environment, and nurse burnout. Results:The results of this study showed that nurses in internal medicine wards, at staff positions, and on rotating shifts in governmental hospitals have a high rate of total burnout (P < 0.05). In contrast, nurses with less than five years of work experience have a high rate of reduced personal accomplishment (P < 0.05). Also, nurses with 6 -15 years of work experience reported the highest incidence of emotional exhaustion (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Burnout is associated with some specific demographic and environmental features. To reduce and prevent burnout, nursing leadership should focus on personal accomplishments in nurses with little work experience, especially for nurses in internal medicine wards, on rotating shifts, and on staff wards. In addition, policy makers at higher levels should also consider nursing burnout in governmental hospitals.

“…Studies have shown that occupational stress is associated with minor psychiatric disorders. Issues such as the rate of absenteeism, abuse of substance and drugs, apathy and loss of motivation are higher in workers than others, and therefore, affect their occupational satisfaction and mental health (3). Dissatisfaction, work overload, lack of time, and physical stress are factors that directly affect the mental health of the individual (4).…”

Received: June 2015, Accepted: August 2015 Background: The lack of satisfaction and balance between the workload and abilities and limitations of individuals in various occupations may influence their general health. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of workload and job satisfaction on the general health of industrial workers. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and correlational study on 215 workers of a Chinese manufacturing industry in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. Data were collected using the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software and through computing the Pearson and Spearman's correlation coefficients and step-wise regression. Results: The general health score of 60% of women and 45.1% of men was greater than the cut-off score of 21 as a determinant of health and non-health. In addition, 80.6% of men and 74.8% of women had social problems. The overall workload of 26.53% of men and 23.7% of women was over 70 (high workload) and the workload of 69.38% of men and 69.23% of women was between 40 and 70 (intermediate). Based on these result, the average job satisfaction score is moderate and 60.2% of men and women have shown moderate satisfaction. The result of correlation test showed no statistically significant correlation between workload and job satisfaction and general health (P > 0.05). Moreover, no significant relationship was observed between job satisfaction and general health (P > 0.05). Conclusions:The results of the study suggest that authorities should pay special attention to the general health of industrial workers, especially with respect to social disorders. In addition, given the direct relationship between some subscales of workload and job satisfaction, and general health, further studies are needed to identify these factors.

“…Lin et al [28] pointed out that cultural factors may have influenced the levels of burnout reported by nurses in the study. Such cultural influences are well documented by other researchers [29,30] and include factors such as gender role expectations, religion, role of the family and health care systems.

Aims: This paper reports the findings of a study that aimed to determine and compare the prevalence of burnout between emergency nurses and medical nurses, and to examine how burnout was influenced by a range of job-related and personal factors. Methods:The study incorporated a descriptive quantitative design, and based in a Regional General Hospital in the Republic of Ireland, a total population sample of 61 emergency nurses and medical nurses working on one acute medical unit were asked to participate. A validated tool was used to measure burnout levels, and an instrument was designed to capture job-related and personal data that were deemed to be potentially important on the basis of existing evidence.Results: A response rate of 78.6% (n = 48) was obtained. Although the results need to be interpreted with caution, analysis revealed no significant difference in Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalisation or Personal Accomplishment levels between medical nurses and emergency nurses. The job-related and personal factors of gender, age, marital status and the number of hours worked per week were significantly (p < .05) associated with burnout. Conclusion:The findings of this study consolidate existing knowledge on burnout in nurses and confirm that burnout is prevalent in emergency and medical nurses. The findings have also identified nursing groups that have higher levels of burnout so that burnout reduction measures can be targeted at them.
