Abstract

Over the past two decades, emotional exhaustion has become one of the most prevalent issues affecting helping professions. In nursing, studies have shown that emotional exhaustion may affect not only the physical and mental health of nurses but also patient outcomes. This possibility highlights the need to explore emotional exhaustion to comprehensively understand this condition. Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method was used to analyze the concept of emotional exhaustion and identify its meanings, attributes, antecedents, consequences, empirical uses, and implications for nursing. Addressing emotional exhaustion among nurses is crucial to maintain patient safety, enhance the quality of nursing care, and improve healthcare organizations’ outcomes.
