Received: November 2021; Accepted: December 2021; Published: January 1, 2022. Citation: Maher Alhafithi et al. Prevalence and associated factors of burnout among nurses in a general hospital

Abstract

Background: Burnout is a prevalent psychological state among nurses. Burnout syndrome consists of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, which results from prolonged stress in the workplace.

Aim: This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and associated factors of burnout among nurses in Yanbu General Hospital, Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 249 nurses at Yanbu General Hospital, Saudi Arabia. The validated Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel was used to measure burnout. Sources of stress were assessed by 17 items. Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version. 20. Students’ t-test, correlation and analysis of variance were used to assess the relationship between variables.

Results: High burnout was found among 168 (67.5%) participants. The EE score was significantly higher among Saudis, (p=0.004), among those who worked >40 hours per week (p<0.001) and among those who had more than 8 shifts per week (p=0.001). The depersonalization (DP) score was significantly higher among Saudis (p=0.014), and among those who worked >40 hours per week (p<0.001). The personal accomplishment (PA) score was higher among those who had higher monthly income (p=0.038). Sources of stress were associated with the three scales of burnout.

Conclusion: Burnout was highly prevalent among nurses in this study and was associated significantly with work related factors and sources of stress in the workplace. Working conditions should be improved to minimize the impact and consequences of burnout among nurses.

Key words: Burnout, Mental Health, Nurses, Saudi Arabia, Source of Stress, Yanbu
