Abstract
Background:Stress at workplace keep individual at extreme pressure and leads to exhaustion and inability to deal with stressful situation which causes burnout. Continuous stress on workplace causes multiple physical as well as psychological manifestations. Due to more demanding job nurses are more prone to burnout syndrome at workplace. Early assessment and timely interventions to overcome burnout are key for more productive work output. The objective of the present study was to develop Burnout Syndrome Assessment Scale (BOSAS) for nurses.Materials and Methods:A methodological design was carried out to develop BOSAS in different phases. Modified Delphi technique used for content validity. Reliability was calculated in terms of internal stability and stability of scale. Validity was measured in terms of face, content, criterion, and construct validity.Results:There were a total of 20 items in the final draft. Internal consistency was checked by Cronbach’s alpha which was 0.94. Test-retest reliability of scale was found 0.93. Pearson’s correlation was used to check inter-item correlation which was found between 0.20 and 0.40. The content validity index was 0.93. Concurrent criterion validity of scale was 0.82. Construct validity was analyzed by factor analysis, all items were loaded in 5 factors and accounted for 64.95% of variance.Conclusion:BOSAS has good validity and reliability and it can be used to assess and identify burnout among nurses.
