Abstract
Objective To investigate the status of job burnout of clinical nurses, and to analyze its relationship with self-efficacy and the environmental factors. Methods Maslach Burnout Inventory, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Nursing Work Index-Revised and Nurses' Job Stressor Scale were used to investigate 239 clinical nurses from 2 tertiary first-class hospitals of Lianyungang City. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between all the dimensions of nurse burnout, self-efficacy, professional nursing practice environment and job stressor. Results The scores of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were (23.95±11.11) and (7.90±6.58) respectively, indicating medium level of burnout. The score of decreased personal accomplishment was reverse coded, and the score was (27.51±10.96), indicating a high level of burnout. Both work environment and self-efficacy were related to job burnout (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Environment played bigger roles in influencing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and self-efficacy influenced personal accomplishment more significantly. Conclusion More attention should be paid to the improvement of nurses' self-efficacy and work environment in order ot reduce nurses’ job burnout. Key words: Job burnout; Nurse; Self-efficacy; Environment
