Summary
Spiritual well-being (SWB) positively predicts personal accomplishment in emergency nurses, mitigating occupational burnout (OB). Educational programs enhancing SWB can improve job satisfaction and patient care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Occupational Health
- Psychology
Background:
- Occupational burnout (OB) is a significant concern among emergency nurses.
- Spiritual well-being (SWB) may play a protective role against OB in healthcare professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate occupational burnout (OB) and spiritual well-being (SWB) in emergency nurses.
- To examine the associations between OB and SWB in this population.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 239 emergency department nurses from six hospitals in Ardebil, Iran.
- Data collected using socio-demographic, Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaires.
Main Results:
- Moderate and severe personal accomplishment were significant positive predictors of SWB (P=0.007 and P<0.001, respectively).
- The mean age of participants was 34.4±6.4 years.
- Mean scores for existential and religious well-being were 40.3±8.7 and 41.0±9.2.
Conclusions:
- Enhancing SWB through targeted educational programs can prevent and reduce OB in nurses.
- Improved SWB is linked to increased self-efficacy and job satisfaction among emergency medical staff.
- Interventions focused on SWB can ultimately lead to improved patient care outcomes.
