This study was carried out to determine the burnout levels and sleep quality of nurses in the coronavirus disease-2019 process.
Design And Methods:
The population of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of all nurses working in hospitals in Turkey.
Findings:
Nurses' mean scores were compared by gender. The emotional burnout and personal achievement scores of male nurses were higher than those of female nurses. Single nurses had significantly higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores than married individuals. Nurses mostly experienced emotional exhaustion, and burnout levels increased in line with insomnia.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Nurses struggling on the frontline during the pandemic were determined to be at risk of insomnia and burnout.
