Introduction
Nurse burnout is a widespread phenomenon
characterized by a reduction in nurses’ energy
that manifests in emotional exhaustion, lack
of motivation, and feelings of frustration and
may lead to reductions in work efficacy.

4.
What Is Nurse
Burnout?
Nurse burnout is the state of mental, physical, and
emotional exhaustion caused by sustained work-
related stressors such as long hours, the pressure of
quick decision-making, and the strain of caring for
patients who may have poor outcomes.

5.
Burnout feeling
Nurse burnout is a widespread phenomenon
characterized by a reduction in nurses’ energy
that manifests in emotional exhaustion, lack
of motivation, and feelings of frustration and
may lead to reductions in work efficacy.
As you face these compounding factors, you
may start feeling disengaged and detached,
the first warning signs of burnout. If you don’t
address this situation with good self-care,
burnout can lead to feelings of cynicism,
hopelessness, and even depression.

Causes of Nursing Burnout
Long Hours
Increase in population + increase in chronic
diseases + decrease in the number of nurses
= fatigue and exhaustion
High-Stress
Environment
nursing specialty brings its own challenges,
but some specialties are naturally more
stressful than others.
ICU – CCU – PICU – NICU
Lack of Sleep
One of the largest burnout risks for
professionals in any industry is chronic
lack of sleep. This is particularly
common for nurses who work long
hours and consecutive shifts
Lack of Support
If your workplace lacks a culture of
good teamwork and collaboration
practices, burnout may be more
prevalent there

Alienation from (work-
related) activities
People who have burnout find their jobs increasingly
stressful and frustrating. At the same time, they may
increasingly distance themselves emotionally.
Exhaustion
People affected feel drained and emotionally
exhausted, unable to cope
Reduced performance
Burnout mainly affects everyday tasks, its
hard to concentrate, are listless and lack
creativity.

symptoms of burnout?

Nurse burnout
Risks
Nurse fatigue is a major concern for everyone
involved: nurses, employers and patients. Nurses
themselves are at risk of developing depressive
disorders and other mental health conditions and of
being out of work. For organizations, the low quality
of patient care can affect their reputation. For
patients, nurse depletion can directly affect their
health.

9.
Dangers of Nurse Burnout
Turnover Lower Quality
of Care
There is a link between higher rates of
burnout syndrome and nurses' intention
to leave. This increases pressure on an
already stressful work environment.
Mistakes due to exhaustion
can lead to patient discomfort,
infection, and even
(in extreme cases)
Mortality
If the number of patients in
relation to the nurse is more
than 1:4, the death rate will
increase by 7%

10.
Burnout and healthcare
quality
Burnout can impact healthcare quality and safety.
According to the job demands-resources model of
burnout, job demands (e.g., interacting with patients
with intensive service needs, balancing competing
priorities) require effort over time and can result in
costs to the healthcare provider (e.g., emotional
exhaustion),

Conclusion
burnout is a serious issue that needs to be tackled head
on in the nursing profession. On the short term, it leads to
reduced quality of care for the patients and also, on the
long run, it has been implicated as a major factor in the
shortage of nurses pervading the healthcare setting.
Ambiguous roles should be eliminated, whenever the
workload is enormous, co-workers should help each other
out, nurses should have deserved holidays and adequate
rests to recharge their batteries.
