“…Thus, the professionals least affected by the burnout syndrome showed higher levels in all the individual variables mentioned above. This coincides with the literature, which suggests that Job Crafting [21,26], proactive personality [35][36][37], general self-e cacy [48,49] and the promotion regulatory focus are associated with a decrease in Burnout among workers.…”

“…This variable has also been shown to be closely related to turnover in nursing, increasing retention of these workers in their job and patient satisfaction [47]. In this regard, self-e cacy has been found to be a protector variable against developing burnout [48,49] and a predictor of passion one's work [50]. Speci cally, self-e cacy acts as a mediator in the relationship between the work overload to which healthcare professionals are subjected and level of burnout [51,52].…”

Background: The heavy work load and pressure to which nursing professionals are subjected leads to an increase in stress-related problems, such as burnout. Personal resources, such as job crafting, proactive personality, self-efficacy and regulatory focus are fundamental in palliating negative effects in the work environment.Objective: To analyze individual differences, with attention to proactive personality, regulatory approach and general self-efficacy in job crafting, and to determine the predictive power of these variables for burnout in nursing professionals. Methods: The sample was made up of 643 nurses. After correlation and descriptive analyses, multiple linear regression models were computed to find out the possible predictor role of the individual variables on burnout. Main Outcome Measures were: Proactive personality, Regulatory focus, Self-efficacy (participant beliefs concerning their ability to handle different daily situations adequately), Job Crafting behavior and Burnout.Results: The results showed that job crafting, proactive personality, general self-efficacy and the promotion regulatory focus were associated with a decrease in burnout in healthcare workers. Similarly, the predictive models for each of the factors in burnout in all cases included the increase in structural resources dimension of job crafting as the variable with the most weight. Furthermore, the increase in the social resources of Job Crafting for the social climate of the Burnout acted as mediator of this relationship.Conclusion: Job Crafting has been shown to be a variable promoting positive changes in the work environment that acts as a predictor of employee Burnout levels.

“…Therefore, mindfulness practice by workers in this sector facilitates awareness and being in the present moment, enabling recognition of the empathetic experience and promoting critical examination [58]. Improvement in the work climate and nursing action derive from both progress in working conditions and developing individual internal resources, maybe which, in turn, foster coping with highly stressful conditions, exhaustion and emotional impact [16,[59][60][61]. As mindfulness is a potentially modifiable individual characteristic, its intervention can generate positive results in the scope of healthcare [62].…”

Background: The work of health professionals is characterized by a high demand for psychological and emotional resources and high levels of stress. Therefore, the promotion of commitment and job well-being through strategies such as increased mindfulness, is important among nursing workers. Although mindfulness has shown positive effects in the health field, few studies have explored the mechanisms and processes underlying these results. We investigated the mediating role of empathy (cognitive/affective) in the effect of mindfulness on the dimensions of engagement in nursing professionals. Methods: Sample was comprised of 1268 Spanish nurses between 22 and 62 years old, that completed the Utrecht Labor Engagement Scale and the adapted versions of Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and Basic Empathy Scale. The relationship between variables to be included in the regression analyses, bivariate correlations were carried out, and the descriptive statistics of these variables were also found. To estimate the mediation model was used, in this case for multiple mediation effects. Results: Mindfulness is found to affect the Vigor and Dedication factors of engagement through cognitive empathy. While for the Absorption factor, the affective component of empathy also exerts a mediating role, although weaker than cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy, as an individual factor, was shown to have a mediating effect between mindfulness and the factors of engagement in healthcare workers.

“…Donoso and colleagues () found that good competence in emotion regulation is related to high nurses’ motivation at work and felicity at home. A large body of literature (e.g., Arnold, Connelly, Walsh, & Martin Ginis, ; del Carmen Pérez‐Fuentes, Mar Molero‐Jurado, Gázquez‐Linares, & Mar Simón‐Márquez, ; Fornés‐Vives, García‐Banda, Frias‐Navarro, & Pascual‐Soler, ) has explored the relationship between burnout and emotional characteristics like emotional intelligence, emotional labour and emotion regulation. A recent Italian study (Masiero, Cutica, Russo, Mazzocco, & Pravettoni, ) have highlighted that the ER health care professionals who had difficulties to verbalize and manage their feelings were more prone to burnout.…”

Aim To verify the role of dispositional mindfulness, difficulties in emotion regulation and empathy in explaining burnout levels of emergency room (ER) nurses. Background Many studies have examined the variables that can affect burnout amongst ER nurses, but little is known about factors that can protect ER nurses against work‐related stress. Method A multi‐centre cross‐sectional design was used. Burnout level intensity, dispositional mindfulness facets, difficulties in emotion regulation and empathy dimensions were assessed using valid and reliable self‐report questionnaires in a sample of ER nurses (N = 97) from three different hospitals. Results Higher dispositional mindfulness and cognitive empathy levels and lower difficulties in emotion regulation, were negatively associated with emotional exhaustion levels. Conclusion ER nurses with more mindful, emotion regulation and empathy skills are more able to manage work‐related distress. Implications for Nursing Management Experiential interventions to promote mindfulness skills, emotion regulation variability and flexibility in a clinical context and the cognitive side of empathy are recommended for ER nurses to reduce professional distress, and to enhance personal and work satisfaction. Future research should assess the effectiveness of new multi‐factorial interventions which combine the development of mindfulness, emotion regulation and empathy skills in ER nurses.
