Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a measurement tool for burnout in general hospital nurses and verify its reliability and validity.
Methods: Construct factors were extracted through an extensive literature review and in-depth interviews with nurses. Psychometric testing was conducted with 550 nurses in a general hospital. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability testing.
Results: As a result of factor analysis, 4 factors and 26 items were selected. The burnout factors of general hospital nurses were professional quality of life, work environment excellence, job satisfaction, and negative emotions. The overall coefficient of determination was 46.38%. These factors were validated through convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity testing. The internal consistency reliability was acceptable (Cronbach’s α=.91).
Conclusions: The Burnout Scale for General Hospital Nurses is a valid and reliable tool that contributes to the assessment
of burnout in general hospital nurses. This scale is expected to be used in burnout practice and research of general hospital nurses.
