Emergency nurses experience the highest burnout and least control, while nurse practitioners report the opposite. Interventions targeting control and stress may reduce burnout and improve nurse retention.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Burnout is a significant issue in the nursing profession, impacting retention and patient care.
  • Perceived control is a key factor influencing job satisfaction and well-being among healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between perceived control and burnout across different nursing specialties.
  • To identify factors mediating the differences in burnout levels among nurse practitioners, nurse managers, and emergency nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 228 nurses across 30 states, representing three distinct specialties.
  • Statistical analyses, including mediational analyses, were employed to examine the relationships between perceived control, burnout, and specialty.

Main Results:

  • Emergency nurses reported the lowest perceived control and highest burnout levels.
  • Nurse practitioners demonstrated the highest perceived control and lowest burnout.
  • Expected control, hostility, and stressor frequency mediated the burnout differences observed between specialties.

Conclusions:

  • Perceived control significantly influences burnout levels in nursing, with notable variations across specialties.
  • Interventions aimed at enhancing perceived control and managing stressors are crucial for mitigating burnout.
  • Findings support the development of targeted strategies to improve nursing retention by addressing specialty-specific challenges.
