This study identified three nurse personality profiles: resilient, ordinary, and distressed. Distressed nurses face significantly higher burnout risk, while resilient nurses experience reduced burnout, informing targeted support strategies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Psychology
- Occupational Health
Background:
- Limited research exists on the link between overall personality profiles and nurse burnout.
- Inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between nurse demographics and burnout levels.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify personality profiles among Chinese nurses using the Big Five personality model.
- To analyze the relationship between burnout, personality profiles, and demographic factors in nurses.
Main Methods:
- A sample of 1423 nurses completed the Big Five Inventory and Oldenburg Burnout Inventory.
- K-means cluster analysis identified three distinct personality profiles: resilient, ordinary, and distressed.
- Multivariate analysis of variance and logistic regression examined burnout correlations.
Main Results:
- Significant differences in personality dimensions and burnout levels were observed across the three profiles.
- Nurses with a distressed profile were 4.52 times more likely to experience burnout.
- Resilient nurses showed a 55% reduction in burnout risk compared to the ordinary profile.
Conclusions:
- Hospital administrators should prioritize identifying nurses with distressed personality profiles for early burnout intervention.
- Personality profiles should be considered alongside job requirements during nurse recruitment to enhance workforce well-being.
