Objective To provide theoretical basis for tackling job burnout among nurses in Tangshan private hospitals through investigating related influencing factors.
Methods Socio-geographic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to collect general information and measure job burnout of 280 registered nurses from 6 private hospitals in Tangshan.
Results Job burnout was statistically lower in male nurses (t=-3.12, P<0.05). High social support was associated with low job burnout (t=3.12, P<0.05). Pediatric nurses were significantly more susceptible to job burnout (F=9.50, P<0.05), while emergency nurses had lower scores in personal accomplishment (F=10.09, P<0.05).
Conclusion Gender, social support, and working department are the main influencing factors of nurse job burnout in Tangshan private hospitals.
