Title: | The factors influencing burnout and job satisfaction among critical care nurses: a study of Saudi critical care nurses | Contributor(s): | Alharbi, Jalal (author); Wilson, Rhonda L (author); Woods, Cindy (author) ; Usher, Kim (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1111/jonm.12386 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20131 | Abstract: | 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. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Nursing Management, 24(6), p. 708-717 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1365-2834 0966-0429 |
