Abstract

Nurses experience a high rate of burnout, which may be attributed to the physically and mentally exhausting profession. Consequently, it leads to a decrease in the quality of care. Objectives: The present study was employed to determine the frequency of burnout and its contributing factors among nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Both male and female nurses and at least one year of job experience were included in the study. Nurses who were working in management posts were excluded from the study. A self-administered, pre-tested, and validated questionnaire “Copenhagen Burnout Inventory” was used to assess burnout. Results: Most of the nurses reported moderate levels of personal, professional, and client-related burnout. Gender was significantly and negatively associated with emotional burnout (β -.182; p=0.004), and rotation of duty was also found to be significantly and negatively related to personal burnout (β -0.271; p˂0.01) among nurses. Similarly, work-related burnout, gender (β -0.198; p=0.002), and rotation (β -0.175 p=0.006) were found to be negatively and significantly associated with burnout, while duty shift was significantly positively (β=0.169; p=0.010) related to work-related burnout. Age was positively associated (β=0.096; p=0.029) with client-related burnout, while residence (β -0.17; p=0.022, and rotation (β -0.617; p=0.004) were found to be negatively and significantly associated with client-related burnout. Conclusions: A high frequency of burnout was recorded among study participants. The long duty shifts and rotations had a significant impact on nurses' burnout in the present study.
