| description | Introduction. The presence of burnout, anxiety, and depression among health professionals is a crucial issue that must be carefully addressed. The signs of a burnt-out in nurses are not always easy to identify and may be physical, psychological, emotional, and/or behavioral. The article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of emotional burnout and also concludes that it is one of the central issues in becoming a professional nurse.
Aim. This study examines the prevalence, distribution, and severity of emotional burnout syndrome among nurses in Chernihiv and Ternopil who work in dental care facilities serving the general population. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to evaluate three subscales of burnout.
Materials and methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study. Data was voluntarily collected from the nurses through surveys that included demographic information and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which measures three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA).
Results. We analyzed responses from 89 participants (registered nurses). The prevalence of burnout was 38.2%. Most of the nurses scored within the range indicative of burnout. Regarding burnout dimensions, the most affected was high emotional exhaustion: nearly three quarters (67.41%) reported emotional exhaustion, followed by 23.08% with high depersonalization, 16.86% experienced reduced sense of personal accomplishment.
Conclusions. The study showed that most nurses either fit the burnout criteria or are at a high risk of burnout. |
