Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between moral distress, physical symptoms, and burnout among clinical nurses.
Methods: Data were collected by self-report questionnaires targeting 140 nurses from a university hospital in Chungju. The data were analyzed by, Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: Moral distress due to the general characteristics of the participants showed a statistically significant difference at the current working department (χ²=36.01, p<.001). Hospital nurses’ moral distress had a statistically significant correlation with burnout (r=.358, p<.001) and physical symptoms (r=.440, p<.001). Factors influencing hospital nurses’ burnout, pro were physical symptoms, moral distress, and marital status, accounting for 36% of the variance.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that moral distress and physical symptoms influence burnout among hospital nurses. Therefore, interventions for burnout among hospital nurses should include an empowerment program to reduce physical symptoms and moral distress.
