Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting burnout of nurses caring for people with mental illness in general hospital wards.
Methods: This study conducted a survey targeting 186 nurses in general wards with more than one year of clinical experience working at three general hospitals in Seoul, Korea. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS 21.0.
Results: The factors influencing burnout were nursing work stress (β=.30, p<.001), attitude towards people with mental illness (β=-.25, p<.001), religion (β=-.21, p=.001), psychiatric nursing competency (β=-.16, p=.016), experience of nursing for people with mental illness (β=.14, p=.023), and gender (β=.14, p=.026), explaining 33.5% of the total variance (F=16.53, p<.001).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to develop and apply an education program to lower nurses’ work stress, to create positive attitude towards people with mental illness, and to enhance psychiatric nursing competency for prevention and mitigation of burnout of nurses caring for people with mental illness.
