Abstract

Burnout among nursing specialists has become a pervasive issue within the healthcare sector, with various factors contributing to its prevalence. This review examines the frequency of burnout among nursing professionals and explores the multifaceted factors that influence its occurrence. Gender, marital status, age, work shift, level of healthcare, and healthcare service areas have been identified as significant predictors of burnout. Moreover, personality traits such as neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness play crucial roles in forecasting burnout syndrome among nurses. This article underscores the importance of considering behavioral factors in risk profiles for the development of burnout syndrome within the nursing profession. Additionally, it highlights the nuanced challenges faced by community psychiatric nurses compared to public health nurses, emphasizing the differential impact of workload and job control on burnout prevalence in various nursing specialties.
