The factors influencing burnout and job satisfaction among critical care nurses: a study of Saudi critical care nurses.
Journal of Nursing Management 2016 September
AIM: The aim of the study was to explore the prevalence of burnout and job satisfaction among Saudi national critical care nurses.
BACKGROUND: Burnout is caused by a number of factors, including personal, organisational and professional issues. Previous literature reports a strong relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among critical care nurses. Little is known about this phenomenon among Saudi national critical care nurses.
METHODS: A convenience sample of 150 Saudi national critical care nurses from three hospitals in Hail, Saudi Arabia were included in a cross-sectional survey.
RESULTS: Saudi national critical care registered nurses reported moderate to high levels of burnout in the areas of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation. Participants also reported a feeling of ambivalence and dissatisfaction with their jobs but were satisfied with the nature of their work.
CONCLUSIONS: Saudi national critical care nurses experience moderate to high levels of burnout and low levels of job satisfaction. Burnout is a predictor of job satisfaction for Saudi national critical care nurses.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: These results provide clear evidence of the need for nurse managers and policy makers to devise strategies to help nurses better cope with a stressful work environment, thereby also improving job satisfaction among Saudi national critical care nurses.
