Differences in Nurse Burnout Rates Based on Spiritual Aspects through Self-Leadership Training and Emotional Intelligence Mentoring

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Burnout is one of the problems that often arise in nurses. This condition needs prevention and one of the ways is a self-leadership approach and emotional intelligence mentoring from spiritual aspects. Spirituality has been shown to be a protective factor among a number of health service-providing populations. AIM: This study aimed to analyzing differences in nurse burnout rates based on spiritual aspects through self-leadership training and emotional intelligence mentoring. METHODS: This study used a quasi-experimental method using a pretest-posttest. The population of this study was nurses at RSUD Noongan and RSU GMIM Bethesda Tomohon. Sampling used simple random sampling and a sample of 159 nurses was obtained. This study used the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire on nurses to see the level of fatigue experienced before the intervention was given and the Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire was adapted to measure nurses’ self-leadership and a questionnaire to see the knowledge of research subjects (nurses) related to emotional intelligence. Furthermore, to see the spirituality levels, we used Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality. Data analysis methods used in this study were t-test. RESULTS: The results show that before the intervention, the results of statistical tests also showed an indirect effect of spirituality on burnout with p = 0.004. Furthermore, before the intervention, the results of statistical tests also showed an indirect effect of spirituality on burnout with p = 0.004. Meanwhile, after the intervention, p = 0.000 is obtained. CONCLUSION: It can be seen that there are differences in the burnout rates of nurses before and after intervention at the hospital.
