Preventing Nurse Burnout

Burnout needs to be addressed on both an individual and an organizational level

  • Authentic leadership is an important factor influencing nursing retention outcomes as it helps to decrease the likelihood of bullying and improved new nurses’ job satisfaction
  • A basis of mutual respect and a code of professionalism should be in place in all work environments
  • Managers play a key role in creating an open and communicative environment and provide stress- reducing interventions.

Other suggestions include utilizing your hospital resources:

  • 1 in every 5 nurses plans to leave their position within one year
  • Work as a team and maintain a healthy work environment with your co-workers
  • Take your uninterrupted meal break
  • Utilize the serenity rooms
  • Join your hospital's wellness program
  • Go to staff meetings and get recognized for your hard work
  • Turnover rates of new graduate nurses in their first year have been as high as 60%

Here's how you can help prevent nurse burnout in your own life:

  • Nurses in the first 1 to 5 years of their career are at highest risk for experiencing burnout

Those remaining are considered "the warriors"

  • Nurse burnout occurs in approximately one-third of nurses providing direct patient care

A state of mental, physical and emotional stress resulting in a chronic state of pressure or stress at work, occurring frequently among individuals who do “people work”

The Problems of Burnout are Cyclical

Job dissatisfaction affects the perceived quality of care and patient satisfaction and it can result in increased nursing errors and adverse events

Ever felt this panic before?

Some Reasons for Burnout

Nurses work in high stress environments that involve long working hours, short-staffing, daily contact with sick individuals, and dealing with death and the emotional needs of families all on a daily basis

It is important that we are able to sustain a nursing workforce of strong-willed professionals who are able to provide high quality patient care well into the future
