Abstract
Objective: To explore the factors that lead to occupational burnout among nurses in pediatric infectious disease wards after two consecutive years of frontline anti-epidemic work since the admission of COVID-19 patients in January 2020, in order to lay a scientific basis for reducing nurse occupational burnout.
Methods: A total of 12 nurses who working in pediatric infection units were included in the study. Utilizing qualitative research methodologies, we used semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection method. The interview data underwent meticulous organization and were subjected to descriptive analysis.
Results: 12 nurses assigned to pediatric infection wards frequently encounter occupational burnout, primarily attributed to increased work intensity, nurse-patient relationships, occupational frustration, psychological pressure, hospital infections, and various other contributing factors.
Conclusion: We found that the severity of occupational burnout among nurses specializing in pediatric infectious diseases is noteworthy. Our recommendations include heightened consideration of this issue by government authorities and hospital administrators.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
