ABSTRACT
Objective: To understand the influencing factors of job burnout among nurses in Haikou 3A hospital and explore its direct and indirect effects, so as to provide a scientific basis for the work efficiency of nursing staff. Methods: Between November 2, 2015 and November 2015, using multi stage random sampling, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 1049 nursing staff, using the path analysis method to study the effect of direct and indirect factors effect. Results: The total score of job burnout of nurses was 38.44 ± 7.55, high occupational burnout was 0.9%, moderate occupational burnout was 66.5%, and low occupational burnout was 32.6%. The scores of job burnout were compared among the nurses with different titles, and less achievement (F = 8.342, P < 0.001) and depersonalization (F = 3.12, P = 0.025) were statistically significant. Nurses’ Job Burnout and job stressors were the first, and the canonical correlation coefficient was 0.4397 (F = 20.54, P < 0.0001), indicating that the more problems existed in patient care, the greater the degree of emotional exhaustion. The first canonical correlation coefficient of job burnout and job satisfaction of nurses was 0.3791 (F = 12.8, P < 0.0001), indicating that the better the family and work balance, the less individualized nurses were. The path analysis results showed that the 4 dimensions of job stressors (management and interpersonal problems) is positive, the direct effect of the strongest (0.219), the total effect of sort of work pressure source of 4 dimensions (0.245) > 5 dimensions of work pressure source (0.125) > title (−0.112) job satisfaction scores (−0.097). Conclusion: Job stress, job satisfaction and job title are the factors that affect job burnout. The 4 and the direct and indirect effects of job stressors are the strongest, and measures should be taken to solve these problems.
