ABSTRACT:
Burnout a severe psychological occupational issue stemming from prolonged exposure to work place stress, has emerged as a critical concern in today's workforce, particularly among human service professionals like nurses. This study aimed to assess burnout among staff nurses and explore its associated factors. Conceptualizing this study on Betty Neuman’s system model, a descriptive survey design was employed across six private hospitals in Idukki and Ernakulam districts of Kerala. Convenient sampling yielded 250 staff nurses from intensive care units, casualty, and high dependency units. Data were collected using a 48-item rating scale and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that 26.4% of staff nurses experienced severe burnout, 22% reported moderate burnout, while the majority (51.6%) reported mild burnout. Factors such as household responsibilities, income level, years of clinical experience, work area, working hours per day, nurse-patient ratio, and distance from home to workplace showed associations with burnout.
