Relationship between perceived time pressure during visits and burnout among home visiting nurses in Japan

Abstract

Aim: The rapidly rising number of older people has inevitably caused an increasing demand for home visiting nurses. Nursing managers must develop a healthy workplace to recruit and retain a workforce of nurses. This study focused on home visiting nurses' perceptions of time pressure as a changeable work demand. The aim was to investigate perceptions of time pressure and reveal the relationship between perceived time pressure and burnout among home visiting nurses. Methods: From 32 agencies in three districts, 28 home visiting nurses agreed to participate in this study. Two hundred and eight home visiting nurses received an anonymous self-administered questionnaire by mail, and 177 (85.1%) filled out and returned the questionnaire to the researchers. The Job DemandsResources model for burnout, which explains the relationship between a work environment and employee well-being, was used as a conceptual guide. Three survey instruments were employed: questions on sociodemographic variables and worksite environments, including time pressure; the Japanese burnout inventory; and a Japanese version of the job content questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between time pressure and burnout inventory scores. Results: About 30% of home visiting nurses perceived time pressure frequently. When home visiting nurses perceived time pressure more frequently, they experienced higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Conclusion: Time pressure was often perceived as another job demand and had a significant relationship with burnout. This indicates the importance of lessening time pressure to develop healthy work places for community health nurses.

Burnout in Medical Residents: A Study Based on the Job Demands-Resources Model

“…The JD-R model has been used in healthcare working environments in studies among dentists [38], nurses [39–42], and palliative care volunteers [43]. In these studies, it has been shown that demands are more predictive of burnout than resources [39].…”

“…In these studies, it has been shown that demands are more predictive of burnout than resources [39]. In particular time pressure [42] and subsequent increased workload show a significant relationship with burnout. Our univariate analysis showed that, among residents, both resources at work (supervisor's support, autonomy, and opportunities for professional development) and job demands (intellectual demands, emotional demands, workload, and home-work demands interface) are related to burnout.…”

Residency Training: Determinants of burnout of neurology trainees in Attica, Greece

“…3 As proposed by Demerouti et al, 4 in the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, burnout can develop where demands are increased and resources are limited, as such environments can lead to physical exhaustion and reduce the employees' motivation. Studies that have used the JD-R or similar models among health care professionals have shown that time pressure, 5 lack of autonomy, and lack of opportunities for professional development may lead to burnout 6 as well as increased psychological distress. 7 The purpose of our cross-sectional study was to estimate the rate of burnout and identify its determinants among neurology trainees in Attica, Greece, using the JD-R model.…”

Analisis Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Burnout pada Perawat Kesehatan Jiwa

“…Perawat di unit perawatan intensif dengan waktu istirahat yang lebih sempit memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan untuk terjadinya kelelahan emosional dan burnout (Drach-Zahavy dan Marzuq, 2013), dan kurangnya waktu untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas keperawatan telah menghasilkan kelelahan emosional tingkat tinggi dan depersonalisasi (Naruse et al, 2012).…”
