Development of an empowerment model for burnout syndrome and quality of nursing work life in Indonesia

Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to develop an empowerment model for burnout syndrome and quality of nursing work life (QNWL). Methods This study adopted a mixed-method cross-sectional approach. The variables included structural empowerment, psychological empowerment, burnout syndrome and QNWL. The population consisted of nurses who have civil servant status in one of the regional hospitals in Indonesia. The participants were recruited using multi-stage sampling measures with 134 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires, which were then analysed using partial least squares. A focus group discussion was conducted with nurses, chief nurses and the hospital management to identify strategic issues and compile recommendations. Results Structural empowerment influenced psychological empowerment (path coefficient = 0.440; t = 6.222) and QNWL (path coefficient = 0.345; t = 4.789). Psychological empowerment influenced burnout syndrome (path coefficient = −0.371; t = 4.303), and burnout syndrome influenced QNWL (path coefficient = −0.320; t = 5.102). Structural empowerment increased QNWL by 39.7%. Conclusion The development of a structural empowerment model by using the indicators of resources, support and information directly influenced the psychological empowerment of the sample of nurses. As an indicator of meaning, psychological empowerment decreased burnout syndrome. In turn, burnout syndrome, as the indicator of personal achievement, could affect the QNWL. Structural empowerment directly influenced the QNWL, particularly within the workplace context. Further studies must be conducted to analyse the effects of empowerment, leadership styles and customer satisfaction.

Quality of Nursing Worklife Based on Caring Model for Improving Nurse Performance in Hospitals

“…In the work world dimension, the respondents of the current study think that society has a negative image of nurses, that they do not receive adequate salary in comparison to the job market and their job impacts the lives of patients/families. The findings of this study are consistent with study (Karimi-Shahanjarini et al, 2019;Nursalam, Fibriansari, et al, 2018b) which emphasized that people think of nurses as assistants to the physicians, and many physicians also regard nurses only as their helpers and do not consider them as specialists in the art of caring. Furthermore, nurses felt that poor public image of nursing may affect not only their recruitment, but also their attitudes towards work ( Gunawan, Aungsuroch, Sukarna, & Efendi, 2018;Kaur Pushpinder & Rawat, 2017).…”

Job burnout and quality of working life among Chinese nurses: A cross‐sectional study

“…In the United States, Casida et al (2018) have confirmed the negative relationship between nurse practitioners' burnout and QoWL. Similarly, Nursalam et al (2018) have reported that burnout has an adverse effect on the QoWL of nurses in Indonesia. Job burnout is deemed to be an important influencing factor of QoWL.…”

“…Burnout could be a major factor in affecting nurses' quality of working life. Recently, although a growing number of studies have focused on nurses' job burnout or quality of working life, research on their association is still limited (Casida, Combs, Schroeder, & Johnson, 2018;Larson, Cothran, Drandorff, Morgan, & Ryan, 2012;Nursalam et al, 2018).…”
