Summary: | Aims
To determine the levels of job satisfaction and burnout syndrome and related factors among nurses in three Spanish regions.
Background
The nursing profession involves high work stress due to emotional involvement, workload and available resources.
Methods
Descriptive multicentric cross‐sectional study. Sociodemographic and migration data were collected and participants completed the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire S20/23 and Maslach Burnout Inventory. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical methods using the program SPSS.
Results
The sample included 228 nurses (187 women and 41 men), with a mean age of 37.11 ± 10.87. Reported job satisfaction was medium to high. Overall, values were low in emotional fatigue and medium in depersonalization and personal fulfilment. In terms of migration, 21.59% of the participants had already moved to other Spanish regions or another country, while 18.58% had the intention of doing so.
Conclusion
Nurses with a temporary contract showed a high burnout rate, and high levels of emotional fatigue, depersonalization and lack of personal fulfilment.
Implications for Nursing Management
Strategies are needed to improve working and contractual conditions such as enhancing teamwork, management and leadership skills in nurses; achieving internal promotion; and having higher participation in decision‐making and a better balance of power between health institution managers and health professionals. |
