Burnout has become a significant occupational hazard within the nursing profession, driven by demanding workloads, persistent emotional stress, and frequent exposure to patient suffering and trauma. In a systematic review of 695 nurses located in Michigan, 31.1% reported symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder, 19.41% reported experiencing anxiety, and 12.5% indicated symptoms of secondary trauma (Foli et al., 2021).
Beyond its impact on the well-being of nurses, burnout has also been linked to critical patient care outcomes, including decreased patient safety, increased medication errors, higher rates of hospital-acquired infections, and reduced patient satisfaction (Cohen et al., 2023; Zhang et al., 2020). Overall, this evidence underscores that burnout impacts not only nurse wellness but also the quality and safety of patient care.
