Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of digital stress and burnout in acute-care hospital nurse leaders and to examine their relationship.

Background: Nurse leaders face increasing digital demands. However, no literature explores the prevalence of digital stress or its impact on burnout.

Methods: A descriptive, correlational survey study of 145 nurse leaders from a single healthcare system using demographic questions, the Digital Stressors Scale, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory.

Results: Moderate digital stress was reported, particularly related to conflict (M = 22.92, SD = 7.71) and social environment (M = 22.78, SD = 6.22). Burnout was highest on the Work Burnout subscale (M = 309.46, SD = 110.93). Higher digital stress, especially from conflict and social demands, was associated with increased burnout across all domains of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory.

Conclusions: Digital stress significantly contributes to burnout among nurse leaders. Health systems should implement strategies to mitigate technology-related stress.

护士领导的数字压力和职业倦怠。

目的：了解医院急症护理护士长中数字压力和职业倦怠的患病率，并探讨两者之间的关系。背景：护士领导面临着日益增长的数字化需求。然而，没有文献探讨数字压力的普遍性及其对倦怠的影响。方法：对来自单一医疗保健系统的145名护士长进行描述性、相关性调查研究，使用人口统计学问题、数字压力源量表和哥本哈根倦怠量表。结果：报告了中度数字应激，特别是与冲突（M = 22.92, SD = 7.71）和社会环境（M = 22.78, SD = 6.22）有关。工作倦怠子量表的倦怠程度最高（M = 309.46, SD = 110.93）。更高的数字压力，特别是来自冲突和社会需求的压力，与哥本哈根倦怠量表中所有领域的倦怠增加有关。结论：数字压力对护士领导的职业倦怠有显著影响。卫生系统应实施减轻技术相关压力的战略。
