Abstract
Nurse managers are affected by burnout due to the high degree of interaction between managers with their registered nurses. Explanatory models based on psychological, and personality related variables purvey an estimation to level changes in the three dimensions of the burnout syndrome. A categorical-response logistic ordinal regression model, supported on a quantitative, crosscutting, multicentre, descriptive study with 86 nursing managers in the Andalusian Health Service in Granada, Spain is performed for each dimension. The three models included different variables related to personality, as well as depression as the only explanatory variable included in all the models. The risk factor neuroticism was significant at population level and related to emotional exhaustion, whilst responsibility was significant in the model estimated to personal accomplishment dimension. Finally, depression was significant for the three dimensions of Burnout. This analysis provides useful information to help the diagnosis and evolution of this syndrome in this collective.
Highlights
The descriptive study of the personality and depression variables deemed is shown in Variables (N = 86)
Neuroticism (Nm) is a risk factor included in the model related to emotional exhaustion (EE), it is involved in level changes for this dimension of the burnout syndrome
The results showed that high values of De were associated to situations of higher burnout severity in the three dimensions of burnout, with similar results in other studies [22,23], whilst Nm was associated to situations of greater burnout severity in the EE dimension of this syndrome
