“…In a study examining the factors related to burnout syndrome among ICU personnel in Turkey, the researchers showed that 68.7% had high levels of emotional exhaustion, and 38.3% experienced high levels of depersonalization (Doğan et al, 2020). The findings of other studies conducted in Turkey (Özsoylu et al, 2017; Terzi et al, 2019) and other countries (Filho et al, 2019; Jarden et al, 2020; Mealer, 2016; Ntantana et al, 2017; Torre et al, 2019; Vasconcelos et al, 2018) have demonstrated that ICU nurses experienced significant levels of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, thus, supporting the findings of this study. The background of this situation may include various reasons given as follows: (1) ICU nurses deal with many complex machines due to the nature of their work environment (De Villers & DeVon, 2013), (2) they experience intense distress resulting from helping traumatized or suffering people (Hwang & Park, 2018), and (3) they frequently encounter ethical problems, and they are exposed to communication difficulties with difficult and distressed patient relatives (Yıldız, 2019).…”

“…For depersonalization, scores of 9 points and below were considered low risk, while scores of 10 and higher were classified as high risk. For personal accomplishment, 0 to 21 points were evaluated as high risk and 22 and higher points were classified as low risk (Özsoylu et al, 2017). Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the dimensions were .90 in emotional exhaustion, .79 in depersonalization, and .71 in personal accomplishment (Ergin, 1992).…”

BACKGROUND: Although previous studies have separately revealed that parameters such as anxiety, depression, and secondary traumatic stress (STS) are associated with burnout, there is still a limited understanding of the relationship between anxiety, depression, and STS and burnout in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. AIMS: To investigate the relationship between levels of burnout, anxiety, depression, and STS in ICU nurses. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted with ICU nurses ( N = 164) from a university hospital in eastern Turkey. The participants completed the anxiety, depression, STS, and burnout scales along with the descriptive characteristics form. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean scores for STS, anxiety, depression, and burnout were 40.60 ± 13.77, 17.14 ± 12.90, 13.28 ± 9.75 and 41.39 ± 14.87, respectively. The results showed that, in the ICU nurses, anxiety, depression, and STS components explained 61% of emotional exhaustion, 38% of depersonalization, and 13% of personal accomplishment. CONCLUSIONS: While the present findings supported the paradigm that burnout in ICU nurses is associated with STS, anxiety, and depression, they also revealed some details about the psychopathological factors associated with burnout. These details were as follows: (1) individuals who resorted to avoidance as a component of STS on a high level were more likely to experience emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, (2) individuals with severe depressive symptoms were more likely to experience a decrease in their personal accomplishment, and (3) individuals with anxiety symptoms were more likely to experience both emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment.

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the effect of nurses' compassion on burnout. Design and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 177 nurses. An introductory information form, the compassion scale and the Maslach burnout inventory were used as the data collection tools. Frequency, percentage, t test, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis, correlation, and regression were used in the analysis of the data. Findings: The majority of the participants were determined to be female, married and university graduates. It was determined that there was a significant negative relationship between the nurses' sense of compassion and burnout levels, and burnout decreased as compassion increased. Practical Implication: Burnout and compassion fatigue may lead to inadequate care for the patient. This situation will negatively influence nurses' care quality.

Background Intensive care units (ICUs) are noisy environments, which may have negative psychological effects on nurses. Aims and objectives To investigate the effects of the noise level of ICUs on nurses' burnout, job satisfaction, anxiety, psychological symptoms and general psychopathology level. Design A descriptive and correlational study. Methods The study was conducted with 150 intensive care nurses. A Type 2250‐L Brüel & Kjær hand‐held sound level meter was used for noise measurement. A Nurse Information Form, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Minnesora Satisfaction Questionnaire, Self‐Report Inventory and Symptom Checklist‐90 Revised were used for data collection. Results The highest levels of noise (71 dB(A) and above) were measured in the neonatal, neurology and cardiovascular surgery ICUs. It was observed that noise level affected extrinsic satisfaction (F = 3·704; p = 0·027) and trait anxiety (F = 3·868; p = 0·023) of nurses. Conclusions Noise levels in ICUs are well above the recommended levels, and this affects nurses' job satisfaction and anxiety levels. Relevance to clinical practice More studies on the effects of noise levels on the physical and mental states of nurses working in ICUs are needed. Increased quality of patient care can be achieved by providing healthy working conditions for nurses working in special units such as ICUs.
