Purpose:
This study aims to determine factors of job satisfaction and burnout levels of paediatric nurses.
Methods:
A total of 165 nurses working in paediatric clinics completed the Minnesota job satisfaction scale and the Maslach burnout scale.
Findings:
Average scores of the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation score were low, while personal accomplishment scores were high. A high level of job satisfaction, being married, increased age and a decreased number of assigned patients were significantly associated with a low level of burnout.
Conclusions:
Paediatric nurses experience burnout at significant levels. The most important variable that affected job satisfaction was income.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
The results of the study could guide development of strategies that might prevent or alleviate burnout of paediatric nurses.
