Purpose: This study aimed to investigate nurses¡¯ burnout working in a hospital for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, and identify factors influencing nurses¡¯ burnout.
Methods: We recruited 162 nurses working in a nationally designated hospital for COVID-19 patients. Data were collected on general characteristics, burnout, social support, healthcare safety climate, and job stress using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, the Scheffe?test, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression, and Cronbach¡¯s ¥á using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 for Windows.
Results: The mean scores for burnout, social support, healthcare safety climate, and job stress were 2.96, 3.74, 4.08, and 2.69, respectively. Working department and job stress were significant factors affecting nurses¡¯ burnout and these variables explained 26.0% of burnout variance.
Conclusion: To reduce burnout of nurses working in the COVID-19 frontline, efforts are needed to reduce nurses¡¯ job stress. In nursing research, further study on what makes a difference in burnout between intensive care units and medical/surgical wards in current COVID-19 situation are needed. The results will be used as basic data to develop intervention and reduce nurses¡¯ burnout during future infectious disease outbreaks.
