“…16 However, other various studies found age, gender, level of education, marital status to be associated with burnout. 3,17,18 Conversely, in this study high level of burnout was found among married participants but there was no significant association between marital status and burnout (P >0.05). In addition, it was found that having a partner to share with, helps to overcome psychological issues which explains low level of burnout among married individuals.…”

INTRODUCTIONBurnout is characterized by loss of emotional strength, not valuing human beings living together with or offering service and decreased in job performance and success due to lack of interest related to occupational stressors.1Burnout was recognized as work related danger among human oriented professionals including health care professionals since they are required to work many hours to help humans and face a challenge of high demand and low resources.1 Burnout is due to prolonged work related stress that is not managed. In a work environment this leads to high worker turnover, absenteeism, compromise of interpersonal relationships, reduced productivity and low personal achievement. 2High level of burnout was identified among nurses working in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and Emergency Department. A systematic review on burnout among ICU health professionals found the prevalence to range from 6% to 47%. 3 Moreover, this systematic review found the following risk factors: age, gender, work experience, ABSTRACT Background: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Department are more stressful areas therefore nurses in those areas are prone to high level of burnout than others. In Rwanda, studies on burnout among nurses are limited and there is no research targeting specifically nurses working in ICU and Emergency Department. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the level of burnout among nurses working in ICU and Emergency Department in a selected referral hospital of Kigali. Methods: A quantitative approach was adopted. The descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Sixty nurses were involved in the study and they were selected using a total population sampling strategy. A self-administered questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Service Survey were used to collect data. Data were analysed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: The study found high level of burnout among 61.7% of the participants under study. High workload and intention to leave were associated with burnout (P<0.05). Burnout was measured by high Emotional Exhaustion (EE) 29 (48.3%), high Depersonalization (DP) 15 (25%) and low Personal Accomplishment (PA) 30 (50%). Conclusions: The high level of burnout identified among ICU and emergency department nurses is mainly associated with high workload and intention to leave the work within the next 12 months.

Summary Background Healthy work environment has a significant impact on patients, health care workers, and organizations. Objectives In a trial to set up strategies to control stressors and weaknesses in the work environment, the present study took place in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) to explore the work environment and its impact on the organization commitment and caring efficacy of health care providers. Methods This study is a descriptive cross‐sectional study, conducted over a period of 9 months starting from October 2018. A self‐administered questionnaire, based on “The American Association of Critical Care Nurses Standards for Establishing and Sustaining Healthy Work Environments” and “Brewer & Look's organizational commitment scale and theory of self‐efficacy,” was given to 63 physicians and 73 nurses of PICUs at Cairo University Children Hospital in Egypt. Results Nurses were significantly more pleased with their work climate and more committed to their organization and had higher self‐efficacy than physicians. A significant direct correlation was detected between healthy environment perception and organizational commitment and between organization commitment and perceived caring efficacy. Conclusion and Recommendations The study findings might be incorporated into practice to create a positive PICUs' environment, enhance staff satisfaction, and efficiency to promote quality of care paying attention to the junior staff especially physicians. Additional studies are required to recognize the coping strategies that health care providers use and to test the effectiveness of professional development program along with healthy environment interventions.
