Abstract

Background: Job burnout, defined as a syndrome derived from prolonged exposure to stressors at work, is often observed in health care workers. Shift work and job satisfaction are considered two of the occupational risks for burnout in nurses. Nurses have stress and health complaints. In addition, nurses are likely to job burnout. Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of job burnout and its association with work schedules and job satisfaction among Iranian nurses in a public hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in one of the largest Iranian public hospitals among 362 nurses (response rate: 80.44%) in Tehran, Iran. The Maslach burnout inventory (MBI-22) and demographic factors questionnaire were used in the present study. The relationship between job burnout with work schedules and job satisfaction was investigated with multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The mean age and work experience of the participants were 36.14 ± 8.59 and 15.23 ± 9.30 years, respectively. The result indicated a relatively high prevalence of burnout (particularly, personal accomplishment) among the study population. In general, 64.4% of participants reported low personal accomplishment level. The nurses engaged in shift work reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion (odds ratio (OR) = 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.006 - 1.041, P-value = 0.008); there was no relationship between workschedules with depersonalization and personal accomplishment. The result showed significant relationship between job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion (OR = 0.945, 95% CI = 0.928 - 0.963, P-value < 0.001) and personal accomplishment (OR = 1.003, 95% CI = 1.014 - 1.058, P-value = 0.001). Conclusions: The current study revealed that the Iranian nurses are exposed to a considerable risk of personal accomplishment. Also, job burnout is in association with shift working and low job satisfaction level. In this regard, working pressure, type of job and income may affect job burnout. Ergonomic interventional programs are recommended to improve the working conditions. Keywords: Circadian Rhythm, Burnout, Occupational Health, Job Satisfaction

公立医院伊朗籍护士工作倦怠及其与工作时间安排和工作满意度的关系:一项问卷调查

背景:工作倦怠是由于长时间暴露于工作压力源而引起的一种综合症，在卫生保健工作者中经常观察到。轮班工作和工作满意度被认为是护士职业倦怠的两个风险因素。护士有压力和健康问题。此外，护士容易出现职业倦怠。目的:本研究旨在确定公立医院伊朗籍护士工作倦怠的患病率及其与工作时间表和工作满意度的关系。方法:本横断面研究在伊朗德黑兰一家最大的公立医院进行，调查了362名护士(有效率:80.44%)。本研究采用Maslach职业倦怠量表(MBI-22)和人口学因素问卷。运用多元logistic回归分析，探讨工作倦怠与工作时间安排、工作满意度的关系。结果:参与者的平均年龄为36.14±8.59岁，平均工作经验为15.23±9.30岁。结果表明，在研究人群中，职业倦怠(特别是个人成就感)的患病率相对较高。总体而言，64.4%的参与者个人成就感水平较低。倒班护士情绪衰竭程度较高(优势比(OR) = 1.02, 95%可信区间(CI) = 1.006 ~ 1.041, p值= 0.008);工作安排与人格解体和个人成就之间没有关系。结果显示，工作满意度、情绪耗竭与个人成就感之间存在显著相关(OR = 0.945, 95% CI = 0.928 ~ 0.963, p值< 0.001)，OR = 1.003, 95% CI = 1.014 ~ 1.058, p值= 0.001)。结论:目前的研究表明，伊朗护士面临着相当大的个人成就风险。此外，工作倦怠与轮班工作和低工作满意度有关。在这方面，工作压力、工作类型和收入可能会影响工作倦怠。建议采用人体工程学干预方案来改善工作条件。关键词:昼夜节律、职业倦怠、职业健康、工作满意度
