Purpose:
The study was conducted to explore the relationship between mobile phone addiction, work procrastination, and burnout among newly graduated nurses.
Design And Methods:
A cross-sectional survey involving 220 newly graduated nurses in China was conducted from June to July 2020.
Findings:
Approximately 60.9% of newly graduated nurses experienced occupational burnout; 72.7% of newly graduated nurses were characterized by moderate or greater procrastination and mobile phone addiction was at a moderate level. Mobile phone addiction and work procrastination were significant factors leading to emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Work procrastination was also an independent predictor of reduced professional efficacy.
Practice Implications:
Reducing the level of mobile phone addiction and work procrastination among newly graduated nurses might be effective for burnout prevention.
