Purpose: This study was designed to find out relationship between the empowerment, job stress and burnout of nurses in hemodialysis units.
Method: Subjects of this study were 280 nurses working at 51 hemodialysis units located in Daegu metropolitan city and Kyeongbuk province. Three scales were used to measure the subjects’ empowerment, job stress and burnout. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA with Scheffe’s test, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression in SPSS.
Result: The salary level, the pattern of the shift, and the intention to work in the hemodialysis unit were affecting empowerment and job stress in the subjects. Age, marital state, clinical experience, career experience at hemodialysis unit, present position, the pattern of the shift, the intention to work in the hemodialysis unit were affecting burnout in the subjects. There were significant negative relations between empowerment and job stress, and empowerment and burnout in the subjects.
Conclusion: The results showed that the more job stress the nurses have, the higher burnout they could feel. Additionally, the results showed nurses’ higher empowerment could decrease their job stress and burnout. Based on the results, strategies to strengthen the empowerment of the nurses in the hemodialysis units are recommended to decrease their job stress and burnout.
