Abstract
The purposes of this descriptive correlation research were to study: (1) the level of the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout, the level of the chief nurses’ adaptive leadership in anesthesia units and the level of nurse anesthetists’ work-excitement; (2) the correlation between the chief nurses’ adaptive leadership in anesthesia units and the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout; and (3) the correlation between the nurse anesthetists’ work-excitement and the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout. The sample consisted of 120 nurse anesthetists in Southern Thailand, with data collected from April 10 to May 20, 2024. Questionnaires were used which comprised 4 sections: demographic data, job burnout, adaptive leadership of chief nurses, and work-excitement. The questionnaires were tested for validity and reliability. The validity of the second, third and fourth sections were 0.96, 0.92 and 0.98, and the reliability of the second, third and fourth sections were 0.94, 0.98 and 0.94, respectively. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.
The results showed that: (1) the level of the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout, the level of the chief nurses’ adaptive leadership in anesthesia units and the level of nurse anesthetists’ work-excitement were as follows: the mean total score of the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout was at a low level (Mean = 2.50, SD = 0.46), the mean total score of the chief nurses’ adaptive leadership in anesthesia units was at a medium level (Mean = 3.01, SD = 0.99) and the mean total score of nurse anesthetists’ work-excitement was at a high level (Mean = 3.56, SD = 0.99); (2) the relationship of the chief nurses’ adaptive leadership in anesthesia units and the nurse anesthetists’ job burnout showed a statistically significant negative correlation at a medium level (r = -.53, p < .01); and (3) the relationship of nurse anesthetists’ work-excitement and nurse anesthetists’ job burnout showed statistically significant negative correlation at a low level (r = -.30, p < .01).
These results can be used as a guideline to improve human resource management, and to find ways to prevent and reduce the nurse anesthetist’s job burnout in organizations.
