Nurses are crucial to the health care workforce, yet their well-being is often overlooked, adversely affecting patient care. This article examines the intersection of loneliness and burnout among nephrology nurses, and its impact on their well-being and job performance. Loneliness, defined as inadequate social connections, is identified as a significant contributor to burnout and suboptimal well-being among nurses. Findings emphasize the importance of addressing loneliness and promoting social connectedness within the nursing profession. Strategies, such as fostering supportive relationships, creating support groups, and implementing policies to reduce emotional burdens and workload pressures, are recommended. We emphasize the need to prioritize nurse well-being for a resilient health care workforce and improved patient outcomes, and discuss its implications for nursing practice, education, and policy.

As previous studies on academic burnout among college students analyze the impact of a single factor on academic burnout, which is limited by the combined effect of multiple factors, this article uses FSQCA method to empirically explore how five antecedent conditions (academic stress, academic anxiety, lack of academic self-efficacy, Internet addiction, and loneliness) lead to this phenomenon from configuration perspective.
