Official title
Burnout in Hospital-based Nursing and Medical Personnel and Trainees: A Mixed Methods Approach
Overview
Aims to look at associations between work stress, burnout and resilience in hospital-based nurses and medical professionals in several EU countries.
Detailed description
Healthcare professionals, in particular, hospital-based nursing and medical staff, especially surgical specialities, are experiencing symptoms of burnout as never before. Within healthcare, job commitment is at stake leading to staff shortages which places further stress on the health care system, creating a vicious cycle of stressful work environment.
This is the context of the present study, and our aim is to explore quantitatively how factors like resilience, work-setting factors like job support, autonomy and leadership contribute to burnout in hospital-based nursing and medical personnel. These factors have been found to be predictive of burnout with few studies looking at synergistic interactions between these predictors. A survey design will be used for quantitative data collection. This study will also include qualitative interview-based study to complement the quantitative study.
