Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This descriptive investigation aimed to identify COVID-19 infection control-related fatigue, job stress, and exhaustion in nurses and to determine factors that influenced their burnout.
Methods: A total of 193 nurses working at 2 hospitals situated in City C and D were selected as participants of this study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the IBM SPSS 21.0 software.
Results: There were statistically significant differences depending on age, work experience at a screening station, and COVID-19 infection control education on nurses’ burnout. Major factors that influenced their burnout were conflicts from uncertain situations, insufficient support (β=.31, p=.019), age (β=-.14, p=.049), and work experience at a screening station (β=-.19, p=.002). These variables explained 27.0% of burnout in nurses.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simulation training program that can improve the working environment to reduce nurses’ exhaustion upon the outbreak of new infectious diseases and help enhance their abilities to respond to potential future outbreaks.
