Relationship between job demand and burnout in nurses: does it depend on work engagement?

Abstract

The prevailing paradigm in combating burnout in nursing can be changed and could be based on the enhancement of nurses' strengths through increasing engagement.

Relationships among social support, empathy, resilience and work engagement in haemodialysis nurses

“…Our finding is also in parallel with the results of prior studies which were conducted among Spanish and Portuguese nurses, respectively (García‐Sierra et al. ; Orgambídez‐Ramos & de Almeida ). However, supports from family and friends were a not significant predictor for work engagement in our study, which may be ascribed to the fact that friends or family members usually lack similar work experiences, which may result in difficulty in work‐related emotional sharing and disclosure and in providing constructive recommendations.…”

“…It was found that Chinese haemodialysis nurses reported a moderate level of engagement in work, which is lower than those among nurses working in multiple hospital wards, such as the department of internal medicine, surgery, oncology and gerontology in Spain (García‐Sierra et al. ). It is known that compared with other developed countries, China experiences a more severe nursing shortage, and Chinese nurses have heavier workloads and are required to serve a higher percentage of the clients (about 2.4 nurses per 1000 population) (OECD ).…”

“…For example, increased social support contributed to greater work engagement significantly in Spanish nurses (García‐Sierra et al. ). Workplace social support (supervisor and co‐worker support) had significant positive effects on work engagement experienced by hospital nurses in Portugal and oncological healthcare professionals in Australia, respectively (Orgambídez‐Ramos & de Almeida ; Poulsen et al.…”

“…The findings of previous studies supported the positive association between social support and engagement in work in registered nurses (RNs) employed in several hospital units. For example, increased social support contributed to greater work engagement significantly in Spanish nurses (Garc ıa-Sierra et al 2016). Workplace social support (supervisor and co-worker support) had significant positive effects on work engagement experienced by hospital nurses in Portugal and oncological healthcare professionals in Australia, respectively (Orgamb ıdez-Ramos & de Almeida 2017; Poulsen et al 2016).…”

Factors influencing work engagement among psychiatric nurses in Japan

“…To clarify targeted strategies that enhance work engagement, identifying potentially modifiable factors that stimulate work engagement is imperative. Previous studies have shown that reward (Adriaenssens, Gucht, & Maes, ; Wang, Liu, Zou, Hao, & Wu, ), job control (Adriaenssens et al, ; Van Bogaert et al, ), supervisor and/or coworker support (García‐Sierra, Fernández‐Castro, & Martínez‐Zaragoza, ; Poulsen, Khan, Poulsen, Khan, & Poulsen, ), and nurse–physician collaboration (Van Bogaert et al, ) were positively and significantly associated with work engagement. These work‐related factors have been recognized as potential predictors of work engagement among nonpsychiatric nurses.…”
