The role of self-endangering cognitions between long-term care nurses' altruistic job motives and exhaustion.

Background: Due to demographic change and staff shortages nurses suffer under high work strain. As a consequence, caregivers' absenteeism due to mental stress, in particular burnout, is high. To explain the development of nurses' burnout more research is needed on nurses' individual resources and coping strategies.

Self-endangering: A qualitative study on psychological mechanisms underlying nurses' burnout in long-term care.

Objectives: To develop a more specific understanding of psychological mechanisms in the development of burnout in long-term care as a basis for potential new intervention strategies aiming at improving nurses' mental health.

Methods: Two qualitative studies with thematic analysis were conducted. In Study 1, we conducted eight group interviews with 110 nurses from May-July 2019 in the context of workshops at eight nursing homes in Germany.
