Prediction Ooccupational burnout based Job Stress in Nurses in emergency Department

Introduction: Occupational burnout is usually as a long-term response to stressors and interpersonal
emotions characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal success.
The aim of this study was to determine predictive power of job stress on occupational burnout among
nurses working in emergency wards of Urmia teaching hospitals in 2018.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was performed on 120 nurses working in emergency
wards of educational hospitals (150 nurse) affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences in
2018 who were selected by relative classified sampling method. Data were collected by demographic
checklist, Maslach Job Burnout Inventory, and nursing stress scale (NSS). Data were analyzed by
SPSS software version 17 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Results: In this study, mean ± SD of total job stress, and burnout were 89.62±20.59 and 66.86 ±
19.81 respectively. Among the demographic variables, job burnout had a significant relationship with
gender and job position and job stress with age and job position of nurses (P <0.05). The results also
showed that there is a significant relationship between total occupational stress and all domains with
burnout and its three dimensions (P = 0.000). In addition, multiple linear regression showed that job
stress can predict job burnout in these nurses.
Conclusions: Job stress can be a predictor of burnout, so it is recommended that in preventing and
reducing burnout, this factor should be carefully considered and by preparing training programs and
interventions to improve and change the work environment of nurses to The health of their work
environment helped.
