Covid-19 causes fear, worry, fatigue, and post-traumatic stress disorder in nurses who are frontline staff in hospitals. Based on a survey at a hospital nurses felt burnout in caring for the covid-19 patients due to lack of rest, lack of concentration when providing nursing care, and physical burnout caused by an increase in patients with COVID-19. This study aims to determine the association between respondent characteristics and nurses' burnout while in caring for covid-19 patients.This research used a correlation quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was a total sampling of 52 nurses who work at private hospitals in western Indonesia. Data analysis was bivariate with the Pearson chi-square test. The research questionnaire used a subjective questionnaire self-rating test from the industrial fatigue research committee Japan (IFRC). The chi-square test resulted that the variables were not related in caring for covid-19 patients, which is age (p-value = 0.414), gender (p-value = 0.404), education (p-value = 0.069), and marital status (p-value = 0.429). Burnout can occur from several factors such as workload, shift, and work environment. This result can imply for nurses to arrange a time to rest and better scheduling. Nursing managers can also reduce burnout by rewarding, motivating, foster a sense of community in the workplace, and creating a comfortable environment for nurses.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic has developed into a major public health threat. Nurses who work to combat COVID-19 are frequently under pressure. The high stresses caused by the consequences of transmission of the COVID-19 put nurses at risk of developing burnout syndrome. AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of anxiety and burnout experienced by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. An online web-based survey was used to collected data in the national sample of nurses (n = 243, response rate = 78.6%). This study used a convenience sampling technique. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were also employed. Multiple linear regressions were used to determine characteristics associated with burnout. RESULTS: The participants' average age was 34.62 years (SD = 7.91). The mean anxiety score was 7.89 (SD = 2.94). The mean score of emotional exhaustion was 14.35 (SD = 7.72), the depersonalization means score was 8.81 (SD = 5.11), and the professional accomplishment mean score was 13.51 (SD = 7.51). Education and job experience had a substantial effect on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, with R 2 values of 10.8% and 18.5%, respectively. When anxiety was included in the model, the R 2 for emotional exhaustion increased to 20.4% and the R 2 for depersonalization increased to 22.2%, respectively. Work experience had a little effect on professional accomplishment (R 2 = 10.3%) but had a much larger effect when the variable of anxiety was included in the model (R 2 = 18.3%). CONCLUSION: This study revealed that during the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses experienced many emotional states, including exhaustion, depersonalization, and anxiety. Efforts should be made by governments and policymakers in this regard in better preparing health-care systems, persons, and nursing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in the future.

Effects of Nurses' burnout on Patients' Experiences
This study explored the strategies leaders can adopt to reduce the emotional exhaustion, lack of personal fulfillment, and depersonalization that characterize nurse burnout. The problem identified was continued nurse burnout resulting from working long shifts for most days of the week combined with fatigue from a lack of rest, which affects the quality of care offered to patients and nurses' overall health and wellness. The proposed solution was to implement the Maslach Burnout Inventory tool combined with the SBAR communication to measure nurses' workloads, assess their emotional exhaustion, and allocate shifts accordingly. The implementation process focused on developing the necessary leader-empowering practices to help reduce nurses' burnout. With this, approval was sought from the relevant authorities to allow the implementation of the strategies. To gain greater insight into the matter, literature on evidence-based approaches was reviewed so that lessons from other institutions could apply to inform the process. A stakeholder meeting was then planned to gather all involved parties to identify and understand how the strategy would affect the working environment. Leaderempowerment practice policies were then created to help implement the changes within the organizational culture. Two-week training was then conducted to teach the nurses the adverse effects of nurse burnout, the tools available to monitor it, and the empowering practices that can facilitate the change. The project evaluation revealed successes such as increased collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders and lessons learned to inform future projects.
The role of stress and level of burnout in job performance among nurses
Nurses' empathy for and connection with patients demonstrates core professional values which are essential but, consequently, attract certain factors capable of inducing stress. Studies of the roles and responsibilities associated with nursing have implicated multiple and conflicting demands which might not be without some resultant effects. However, little research has been conducted on these work characteristics in developing economies to determine how these might impact the nurse employees' performance. There is need for evidence-based empirical findings to facilitate improvement in healthcare services. This study examined stress and level of burnout among Nigerian nurses (n = 2245) who were selected using stratified random sampling. The participants were measured using an 'abridged measures booklet' adopted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), Job Autonomy Questionnaire (JAQ), Questionnaire on Organisational Stress-Doetinchem (VOS-D) and Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). The roles of work–home interference (WHI) and home–work interference (HWI), with respect to work characteristics and burnout (paying special attention to gender), were examined. Analyses using t-tests and linear regression showed no gender differences in burnout levels among Nigerian nurses, who experience medium to high levels of emotional exhaustion, medium levels of depersonalisation and high levels of personal accomplishment. WHI and HWI were found to mediate the relationship between work characteristics and burnout. The meditational relationship differs between genders. This study calls for further research into gender and burnout among the caring professions, especially in underdeveloped and developing economies of the world. Keywords: job performance, nurses and professional values, stress and burnout Introduction Background In terms of broad behavioural construct, the general taxonomy of job performance includes 'assessment of the performances, analysis of job demands, and method of job elements'. 1,2 A model of job performance that takes into account the multifaceted nature of the job and then separates the various elements subsumed under that rubric makes fundamental distinctions between: aspects of work evaluation that are under the control of the worker (behaviours involved in job performance itself) aspects that are not under the control of the worker (the consequences or effectiveness of job performance) aspects that deal with relative costs (productivity) aspects that show the value placed on each by the organisation (utility). The workers' behaviour, job effectiveness, productivity and utility have inherent consequences. Hence, factors capable of inducing stress might include catastrophes, major life changes and daily hassles, among others. 3,4 Catastrophes such as a sudden life-threatening calamity (or disaster) that push people to the outer limits of their coping capability are stressful. The death of a loved one, loss of a job, divorce, imprisonment, disability, or illness are also sources of stress. Daily hassles associated with relational disorders, unfriendly environments, poverty, academic pursuits and work-related issues also precipitate a great deal of stress. Work-related stress can
