BURNOUT AMONG NURSING STAFF AT SELECTED PRIVATE HOSPITALS IN THE NORTH OF VIETNAM
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Burnout among healthcare staff is common and leads to various negative outcomes to both individual and institutional levels. This study was conducted to survey burnout among nursing staff (nurses, technicians, and midwives) at selected private hospitals in the North of Vietnam. Methods: This cross-sectional study was implemented from January to March 2022 on 141 participants from two hospitals. Burnout was assessed by the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Results: The prevalence of burnout among respondents was 36.9%. Thirty-four percent of the subjects reported no signs and symptoms of burnout. There were significant associations between burnout and age (r = -0.19, p < 0.01), and job satisfaction (r = -0.50, p < 0.01). No differences in burnout scores among various group of gender (df = 139, t = 0,45, p > 0,05), departments (medical, surgical, maternal, and pediatrics departments) (df = 7, F = 1,01, p > 0,05), working types (direct-care, and non-direct care) (df = 139, t = 1,53, p < 0,05). Conclusions: The percentage of nursing staff with burnout was modest. Burnout intervention should pay attention on the staff who are young and have low job satisfaction.
