Summary
The work of intensive care nurses involves great pressure resulting from the direct care of patients with life-threatening conditions. It is very important that nurses in this specialty, in addition to having knowledge of procedures and their proper implementation, are able to respond adequately to sudden and unpredictable situations, as well as cooperate with the therapeutic team This pressure is a result of the environment and working conditions. This situation may cause occupational burnout and mental load as well as a decrease in life satisfaction [1]. In order to reduce the workload and the risk of occupational burnout syndrome, it is necessary to understand the causes, types and frequency of adverse and stressful factors [1,2] In this situation, it is important to prevent these burdens after having first recognized them.
