Summary
Anxiety and guilt are key neuroticism traits impacting nurse burnout. Understanding these links helps develop targeted interventions for emergency department (ED) nurses experiencing burnout.
Area of Science:
- Psychological distress in healthcare professionals
- Occupational health and safety
- Personality psychology
Background:
- Neuroticism negatively affects healthcare worker burnout.
- Limited research exists on specific interactions between burnout components and neuroticism.
Purpose of the Study:
- Investigate the relationship between burnout components and neuroticism in Emergency Department (ED) nurses.
- Utilize network analysis method (NAM) to explore these complex interactions.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional survey of 408 Chinese ED nurses in 2023.
- Employed the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-RSC).
- Applied network analysis method (NAM) to map relationships and identify bridge expected influence (BEI).
Main Results:
- Positive correlations were observed between burnout and neuroticism components.
- Anxiety (Nt5) showed strong positive connections with exhaustion (EE1) and breakdown (EE5).
- Anxiety (Nt5) had the strongest positive BEI, while guilt (Nt12) had the strongest negative BEI.
Conclusions:
- Anxiety and reduced guilt conscience in neuroticism are critical factors influencing nurse burnout in EDs.
- Findings can inform strategies for identifying and mitigating burnout among ED nurses.
- Network analysis provides valuable insights into the intricate relationship between personality traits and occupational burnout.
