Burnout syndrome in neurological nursing

Abstract

Abstract:Objective: To ascertain the incidence of burnout syndrome in Nurses working in Neurological Nursing. Burnout Syndrome (SV) often occurs in Neurological Nursing, where the Nurses are in circumstances associated with suffering and death. Design: For the diagnosis of burnout syndrome we used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Respondents consisted of Nurses n = 120 working at the Neurological Department, in a hospital and ambulances belonging to those wards in Slovakia. Results: In our study, out of n = 120 Nurses working at the Departments of Oncology 50, 83% showed high levels of burnout in their degree of emotional burnout (EE). We found that the age of Nurses has an impact on the formation of burnout syndrome: where the age range was 31-40 years old, 62.16% showed high degrees of burnout in the degree of depersonalization (DP); 64.86% showed a medium degree in the degree of personal satisfaction (PAT). The relation between seniority in neurological care and burnout syndrome is not confirmed. However the relation between the total length of practice and the degree of burnout is confirmed. Concusions: Based on the findings, the management of Neurological and Oncological Nursing it can be recommended that more focus be placed on programs of preventive measures in the field of burnout among Nurses.

Association between nurses' burnout, hospital patient safety climate and quality of nursing care

“…In our sample of nurses, we recorded a medium to high burnout level with the CBI. This is also pointed out by other studies (Slezáková et al, 2015;Pilárik & Tobákošová, 2013), which also identified a medium to high burnout rate in 50-90% of cases of nurses in Slovakia (using the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire). The issue of the shortage of nurses on the labor market, their excessive workload, and burnout has a chronic character in Slovakia.…”

“…Negative associations have also been identified between patient safety and adverse outcomes in nursestheir professional burnout, and lower job satisfaction and well-being (Alves & Guirardello, 2016;Hall et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2018;Vifladt et al, 2016). The healthcare system in Slovakia, as in other countries, struggles with a lack of registered nurses, due to job dissatisfaction, increased migration (Gurková et al, 2013(Gurková et al, , 2020, and burnout (Pilárik & Tobákošová, 2013;Slezáková et al, 2015). Monitoring the patient safety grade and patient safety climate from nurses' perspectives, as well as other factors (job satisfaction, burnout syndrome), has been shown to be vital for improving patient safety (Gurková et al, 2020;Kirwan et al, 2013).…”

Analysis of job burnout, satisfaction and work‐related depression among neurological and neurosurgical nurses in Poland: A cross‐sectional and multicentre study

“…Slezáková et al. ( 2015 ) assessed the occurrence of burnout among 120 neurological nurses. Medium degrees of EE and DP were reported among 28% ( N = 34) and 37% ( N = 44) of nurses respectively.…”

“…This may be because the authors used differing research tools. For example, while some studies (Akman et al., 2016 ; Gallagher & Gormley, 2009 ; García‐Izquierdo & Ríos‐Rísquez, 2012 ; Jiang et al., 2016 ; Liakopoulou et al., 2008 ; Moussa & Mahmood, 2013 ; Purvis et al., 2019 ; Slezáková et al., 2015 ; Wang et al., 2019 ) used Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), others (Kupcewicz & Jóźwik, 2019 ) used the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and still others (Jiang et al., 2016 ) used the authors’ questionnaire. Other important factors influencing the differences in the prevalence of burnout may be different work practices applied and recommended in different countries, different in‐hospital procedures, work organization, interpersonal relations, cultural differences or the size of the sample—the last of which differed across studies, ranging from 49 (Purvis et al., 2019 )–over 1,800 nurses (Kupcewicz & Jóżwik, 2019 ; Wang et al., 2019 ).…”

“…Those who score 0-6, 7-12 and ≥ 13 on the depersonalisation dimension have low, moderate and high levels of depersonalisation, respectively. Items measuring lack of personal accomplishment are reverse-coded; participants with scores of 0-31, 32-38 and ≥ 39 exhibit high, moderate and low lack of personal accomplishment, respectively [13].…”
