Introduction: Emergency nurses work in one of the busiest and most stressful departments in a hospital and, as such, may experience burnout more often than nurses working in other nursing units. This study examined the relationship among orientation, burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low sense of personal accomplishment), and intent to leave.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the influence of nurse work characteristics, resiliency, and burnout on retention, and patient quality and safety.
Background: With an ongoing nursing shortage, maintaining qualified nursing staff is critical. We explored the direct and indirect effects of practice environment, nurse work characteristics, and burnout on retention, and perceived quality and safety.
