Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence burnout among intensive care unit nurses caring for Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) patients. For this cross-sectional study, a convenience sampling strategy was used to recruit 121 intensive care unit nurses with experience of taking care for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients. Data were collected from June 6 to June 25, 2022. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson’s correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were employed for data analysis. The final regression model had an explanatory power of 40.4% (F=12.63, p<.001): COVID-19 infection stress (β=.34, p<.001), depression symptom cluster (β=.29, p=.005), and social support (β=-.17, p=.036) affected burnout. The findings of this study suggest that health professionals should be equipped with procedures for the prevention of emerging infectious diseases, and a psychological support system should be built to promote social support and alleviate depressive symptoms.
