Abstract
Introduction: Job burnout in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is caused by several factors in registered nurses as well as personal factors.
Objectives: This research aimed to study and compare the differences in job burnout among registered nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic according to personal factors.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with a sample group of 250 registered nurses working in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected using questionnaires to gather information on personal factors and job burnout. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and job burnout of registered nurses was compared according to personal factors using one-way ANOVA statistics and Sheffe's Method.
Results: The registered nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic had moderate job burnout. Registered nurses aged 20-29 years, registered nurses with a working period of 1-5 years, and registered nurses working in emergency departments had significantly higher levels of burnout than those in each group at p<.05. The number of hours per day is not significantly different.
Conclusions: Personal factors have different effects on job burnout. Administrators should assign jobs following registered nurses' expertise, allocate the appropriate workload, listen to opinions, and provide assistance to reduce job burnout at work.
