KIỆT SỨC NGHỀ NGHIỆP Ở ĐIỀU DƯỠNG BỆNH VIỆN NHÂN DÂN GIA ĐỊNH

Abstract

Background: Occupational burnout among healthcare workers is increasingly recognized as a significant concern in Vietnam. However, limited research has focused specifically on nurses, who play a central role in patient care. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of occupational burnout among nurses at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital and to identify associated factors, with the goal of informing strategies for prevention and intervention. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 300 nurses with at least one year of work experience at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital from May to November 2023. Occupational burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), which evaluates three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA), categorized into low, moderate, and high levels. A hierarchical logistic regression model was used to analyze factors associated with burnout. Results: The overall prevalence of occupational burnout (with at least one dimension at a high level) was 75.67%. Specifically, high emotional exhaustion was found in 42% of participants, high depersonalization in 22.67%, and high reduced personal accomplishment in 50%. Significant associated factors included marital status, number of children, working hours, night shifts, overtime work, years of service, fear of workplace violence, and experiences of workplace violence. Conclusion: Occupational burnout among nurses is highly prevalent and warrants urgent attention. Hospital leaders should implement targeted interventions to reduce burnout and support the well-being of nursing staff, thereby improving the quality of patient care.
