Abstract
Background
The U.S. health system is burdened by rising costs, workforce shortages, and unremitting burnout. Well-being interventions have emerged in response, yet data suggest that the work environment is the problem. Nurse practitioner (NP) burnout is associated with structural and relational factors in the work environment, practice autonomy, and hierarchical leadership.
Purpose
We explore the unique social, cultural, and political environment in which NPs work through the lens of social ecology and present the Social Ecology of Burnout (SEB) framework.
Methods
We review current burnout frameworks in the context of the NP practice environment and discuss the SEB, specifically exploring psychological safety and its influence on burnout.
Findings
Psychological safety, work environment, and policy are presented within the SEB and solutions which empower NPs are considered.
Discussion
Our framework can serve as a guide for future nursing research, practice, and policy.
