Aim:
This study aimed to investigate the burnout and related factors of infection control nurses in long-term care hospitals.
Methods:
An anonymous, self-administered survey was conducted among 177 nursing home infection control nurses. The questionnaire included stress levels, self-efficacy, social support, and burnout. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 to calculate descriptive statistics and multiple regression.
Results:
Stress (β = .70, p < .001) and social support (β = -.18, p = .007) were found to have significant effects on emotional exhaustion, with an explanatory power of 57%. Stress (β = .62, p < .001) and social support (β = -.20, p = .006) also significantly influenced depersonalization, with an explanatory power of 49%. Self-efficacy (β = -.61, p < .001) significantly impacted reduced personal accomplishment, with an explanatory power of 53%.
Conclusion:
To reduce burnout among infection control nurses in long-term care hospitals, there is a need for systematic and continuous mental health services tailored to individuals, the development and implementation of nursing interventions to enhance self-efficacy, and the establishment of a supportive organizational culture and system.
