Reducing work-related stress to minimise emotional labour and burn-out syndrome in nurses

Abstract

Implicationsforpracticeandresearch► Nurses should engage in stress-relieving therapies and maintain emotional resilience to decrease their chances of burn-out syndrome. ► A longitudinal study on the influences of emotional labour and work-related stress on burn-out syndrome in nurses would ultimately enhance nursing science. ContextEmotional involvement is the basic element of therapeutic relationship between healthcare professionals and their patients. 1 However, emotional involvement exposes healthcare professionals to emotional labour, workrelated stress and burn-out. 1 These three subjective constructs are related and interconnected to each other. Nurses are mostly affected by these constructs due to the emotional demand of the nursing role. 2 This study by Zaghini and colleagues explored a test model to evaluate the influence of emotional labour on burn-out syndrome and the mediating role of work-related stress in nurses. 1 Burn-out syndrome influences the nurse's health, performance, job satisfaction, quality of life as well as the quality of care provided to patients. 3
