Occurrence of Professional Burnout and Severity of Depressive Symptoms among Cardiac Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Nurses with depression are not only likely to suffer themselves, but it may have an impact on their coworkers and potentially the quality of care they provide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and its association with burnout in cardiac nurses. A group of 400 cardiac nurses (361 women and 39 men) was enrolled. The standardized tools such as Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used. A high level of professional burnout regarding emotional exhaustion was observed in 53.3% of nurses, high depersonalization in 52.5%, and low personal accomplishment in 72.8%. PHQ-9 and BDI were shown to correlate significantly and positively with all three MBI subscales (p < 0.05). High depressive symptoms and occupational burnout were correlated with depression (p < 0.05). In conclusion, nurses were found to have high levels of depression and professional burnout, which may have resulted in a negative impact on the quality of patient care. Identification of burnout in cardiac nurses is necessary to consider interventions to prevent stress and depression.

A narrative review of the physiology and health effects of burnout associated with veterinarian-pertinent occupational stressors

“…The professional education, structure, culture, and daily experiences of veterinarians and physicians share many similarities, including parallel causes and trajectories of burnout. In general, the healthcare professions including physicians, nurses, and others as a group are demonstrated to be particularly prone to burnout, and many risk factors appear to be shared within these professions ( 15 – 21 ). This may also imply that risk reduction and prevention strategies can be applied across the spectrum, and veterinary medicine should look carefully at the relevant burnout risks, impacts, and solutions that have been identified in human healthcare.…”

The Influence Mechanism of Prison Police’s Depression: A Cross-Lagged Analysis

“…In summary, previous results on the predictive relationship between burnout and depression have been mixed (Hatch et al, 2019;Koutsimani et al, 2019;Larysz et al, 2021). However, given the relatively high levels of both burnout and depression among prison police (Testoni et al, 2020) and the fact that longitudinal studies have found that burnout and depression among prison police interact with each other (Jaegers et al, 2021;Toker & Biron, 2012).…”

“…Longitudinal studies have also found that early job burnout can predict later depression, but the reverse prediction is not established. Thus, some scholars believe that job burnout is more likely to be the cause of depression than the result (Hakanen & Schaufeli, 2012; Larysz et al, 2021; Shin et al, 2013).…”

Challenges and Burdens in the Coronary Artery Disease Care Pathway for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Contemporary Narrative Review

“…These rates have only increased from prepandemic levels [135]. A population-based survey found that U.S. physicians experiencing burnout had more than twice the odds of self-reported medical errors [136,137], which are associated with physical and emotional impacts, loss of trust, and avoidance of healthcare [138]. Clinician burnout can also lead to decreased patient satisfaction, increased disruptive behavior, a loss of professionalism, and a decreased level of empathy [139,140].…”
