Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of burnout among nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from 133 nurses who worked in long-term care hospitals from January 9 to February 8, 2013. The self-report questionnaire was used to assess the level of emotional labor, job stress and burnout. The PASW Statistics 18.0 version program was used for data analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression. Results: The most significant predictors of burnout were emotional labor, having a hobby, life satisfaction, marital status, job stress, satisfaction with ward work and health condition. These factors explained 57.0% of the variance for burnout. Conclusion: The study results indicate that it is important to reduce emotional labor, job stress and burnout of nurse in long-term care hospitals. Job redesign, modification of shift work systems, management of health and offering burnout prevention program would help achieve this results.
