Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status and correlation of occupational stress and burnout among pediatric nurses.Methods:From April 2023 to January 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 150 pediatric nurses from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, East Campus of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and Taizhou Enze Medical Center as research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, and Nurse Job Stressors Scale.Results:A total of 150 nurses were surveyed, and 149 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 99.33%. Pediatric nurses had high scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions in occupational burnout. The job stressors for pediatric nurses were ranked in order of their scores in each dimension, including workload and time management, work environment and resources, nursing profession and work, management and interpersonal relationships, and patient nursing. There were correlations between occupational burnout and occupational stress among pediatric nurses in multiple dimensions (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have a relatively high level of occupational burnout and often face significant occupational stress. In the development of the healthcare system, attention should be paid to the occupational burnout and stress of pediatric nurses. The physical and mental health of pediatric nursing staff can be promoted and work efficiency can be improved by reducing the overloaded work of pediatric nurses, optimizing personnel allocation, and improving social support.
