Abstract

Objective: To develop a burnout reducing model for professional nurses (BRMPN) in a community hospital and to study its effects.

Methods: The study using research and development process was divided into 4 phases: situational analysis of the burnout, develop the BRMPN, pilot implementation, and evaluation. The ten professional nurses who worked at in-patient unit in 30 beds community hospital for at least 1 year were purposively selected. The measurement consisted a burnout measurement and a burnout cycle questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon matched pairs signed–ranks test, and content analysis.

Results: Three main burnout problems of nurses included physical fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and cognitive weariness. Two factors that caused the burnout were their work and organization factors. The BRMPN is a systematic method which is designed to reduce stress/burnout of their physical, emotional, and cognitive conditions due to nursing practice, and to relieve the related factors including personal, work and organization dimensions. After using the model for 6 weeks, both total burnout scores and two burnout subscale scores of physical fatigue and emotional exhaustion were significantly lesser than before using the model at the level of .05.

Conclusion: The BRMPN reduced burnout of professional nurses. Therefore, it is an option that can be used to reduce burnout of professional nurses.
