Abstract
Aim: To determine the relationship between job stress and burnout level of nurses and identify any factors affecting job stress and burnout level. Methods: The population of this cross-sectional, descriptive study consisted of the nurses working in internal medicine and surgical units (n=80), and the sample was the nurses willing to participate in the study (n=58). The data were obtained by face to face interview method using "Participant Identification Form", "Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)" and "Work-Related Strain Inventory (WRSI)". Results: The nurses 58.6% were in the 30-39 age group. The nurses' MBI total score was 48.27±11.66 and WRSI score was 42.10±4.81. The scores of the MBI subscales were as follows: personal accomplishment (PA) 21.74 ± 5.74, emotional exhaustion (EE) 21.55 ± 7.20, depersonalization (DP) 5.08 ± 4.42. There was a significant relationship between WRSI and MBI subscales (p<0.05). The WRSI score increased with increasing MBI, EE and DP scores. Conclusion: The WRSI scores increased with increasing EE, DP scores and MBI total score. It is recommended that the factors affecting the level of burnout and job stress of the nurses are identified and that these factors are taken into consideration in reducing job stress and burnout in the work environment.
