Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study was designed to identify burnout and factors influencing burnout in contingent nurses. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was conducted with a sample of 228 contingent nurses randomly selected from 25 general hospitals in Korea. The tools used for this study were scales measuring burnout (8 items), job stress (8 items), job satisfaction (9 items), self efficacy (9 items), organizational commitment (9 items), empowerment (9 items), autonomy (7 items) and social support (8 items). The data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 employing Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean score for burnout in contingent nurses was 3.05 points. Factors influencing burnout in contingent nurses were identified as job stress (beta=.40), satisfaction level with current ward (beta=-.25), organizational commitment (beta=-.21), job satisfaction (beta=-.19) and empowerment (beta=-.16). These factors explained 65.0% of burnout reported by contingent nurses. CONCLUSION: The results indicate which factors are major factors influencing burnout in contingent nurses in general hospitals. Therefore, these factors may serve as predictors of burnout in contingent nurses.
