Burnout and Empathic Tendency Levels in Emergency Nurses

Eurasian journal of emergency medicine, 2017

In the healthcare system, burnout is a frequent problem in professions, particularly in nursing, where services are directly provided to individuals. Burnout has a personal nature, but it can lead to the loss of professional productivity, challenges in under taking professional responsibilities, and loss of institutional efficiency (1-4). Maslach defined burnout "as a syndrome seen in individuals who are exposed to intense emotional demands due to their occupation and are asked to work face-to-face with other individuals, which is caused by fatigue, long-term exhaustion, hopelessness, and desperate feelings being reflected out with negative behaviors shown toward occupation, life, and other people" (5). Emergency services in Turkey have very stressful and exhausting environments because simultaneous care is provided to patients with various health problems and critical decisions need to be made in a short time (2). Compared with other clinics of hospitals, emergency services are very crowded places where unplanned visits need to be made and various duties ranging from non-emergency procedures to resuscitation are performed (6). Additional factors such as the excessive number of patients, limited number of nurses, long working hours, shift work, provision of care for patients in need of extensive and immediate care, emotional stress linked to working conditions, insufficient wages, lack of appreciation by executives, and lack of support from colleagues may lead to exhaustion in emergency healthcare professionals, particularly in nurses (7-10).Accordingly, previous studies have reported that emergency nurses are more likely to experience burnout due to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and job-related stress because they face more challenging and life-threatening situations than nurses working in other services (1,9, 11,12). Work-related burnout may negatively affect nurses' understanding of and communication with patients and relatives, which in turn may result in not being fully able to meet patients' needs. Ultimately,
