Summary

Burnout is prevalent in organ transplant nurses, with high emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment common. Factors like long hours and difficult patient interactions contribute to this workplace strain.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Burnout, a response to chronic workplace stress, is well-documented in nursing.
  • Limited research exists on burnout specifically within organ transplant nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment in organ transplant nurses.
  • To identify factors contributing to burnout in this specialized nursing group.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 369 organ transplant nurses.
  • Data collected included demographics, job demands, support, patient interaction frequency/comfort, and burnout levels.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 50% of nurses reported high emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment.
