“…This may be due to the nurses’ lack of awareness or the organization’s compulsion. In line with the present study, previous studies in the United States and Turkey also pointed to nurses’ dissatisfaction with role ambiguity, which can lead to work stress and ultimately more burnout ( Wooldridge et al, 2020 ; Sanli et al, 2021 ). Participants reported inappropriate behaviors of some surgeons in the form of shouting, insulting, anger, humiliation, as well as the surgeon’s dominance and his failure in stress management among the causes of burnout in the operating room.…”

BackgroundOccupational burnout is a mental health problem that among nurses may lead not only to physical and psychological complications, but also to a decrease in the quality of patient care. Considering the stressful nature of surgery, operating room nurses may be at a greater risk. Therefore, the present study aimed to identifying factors associated with the occupational burnout from the perspective of operating room nurses.Materials and methodsThis qualitative study was conducted in Iran in 2021 using conventional content analysis. Sampling was performed using purposeful sampling method with maximum variation. In order to collect data, individual, semi-structured interviews were performed with 18 operating room nurses. Interviews continued until data saturation. Data were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using steps proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Data management was performed using MAXQDA-2020 software. Four criteria provided by Guba and Lincoln were used to improve the study’s trustworthiness and rigor.ResultsA main theme, 4 categories and 15 subcategories were extracted from the data. The main theme is “gradual burnout due to job tension” and categories and subcategories include organizational factors (manager incompetence, organizational indifference, ambiguity in organizational role, organizational inconsistency), interpersonal factors (surgeon aggression, surgeon authoritarianism, surgeon failure to manage stress, unprofessional behavior of nurses), Occupational nature factors (psychological factors and occupational hazards) as well as individual factors (occupational attitude, unprofessional behavior, emotional involvement, demographic factors, physical factors).ConclusionNumerous factors associated with burnout in operating room nurses, which may put the personnel under more pressure. According to these factors, nursing managers and operating room nurses can consider effective strategies to prevent or coping with burnout.

“…Moreover, incompatible expectations between roles may lead to role conflict ( EY and YY, 2018 ). And findings from a study of nurses suggested that the longer the working hours per week, the deeper the degree of role conflict ( Sanli et al, 2021 ). The inadequate staffing of pharmaceutical workers in medical institutions may lead to extended working hours for clinical pharmacists, therefore exacerbating role conflict.…”

“…The study included gender, age, marital status, basic information of children, working years, title and education as control variables. These factors have been shown to have an impact on role ambiguity and role conflict ( Sanli et al, 2021 ; Wells, 2021 ).…”

“…The role cognition of pharmacists is an important component of pharmaceutical care barriers, which potentially indicate that pharmaceutical care barriers may affect the role ambiguity and role conflict of clinical pharmacists. Moreover, occupational climate conditions are sources of role ambiguity and role conflict ( Senatra, 1980 ; Sanli et al, 2021 ). As pharmaceutical care barriers are part of pharmacist’s occupational climate conditions, pharmaceutical care barriers may be a potential source of pharmacists’ role ambiguity and role conflict.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to understand current status of pharmaceutical care barriers and explore the impact of them on the role ambiguity and role conflict of clinical pharmacists in secondary and tertiary hospitals in mainland China.Methods: The Chinese version of Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity Scale was used to measure clinical pharmacists’ role ambiguity and role conflict. A questionnaire for clinical pharmacists’ pharmaceutical care barriers was established to determine whether clinical pharmacists encounter barriers. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influence of various pharmaceutical care barriers on the role ambiguity and role conflict of clinical pharmacists.Results: 1,300 clinical pharmacists from 31 provinces were eventually included. The results revealed that commonly perceived barriers to pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacists include the lack of financial compensation and dedicated time for pharmaceutical care. Barriers such as clinical pharmacists’ unawareness of the importance of pharmaceutical care increase the degree of clinical pharmacists’ role conflict. And the lack of financial compensation for pharmaceutical care decreases the degree of role ambiguity, while barriers such as the lack of dedicated time for pharmaceutical care, the failure to standardize the service procedures and contents of related documents in healthcare institutions increase the degree of role ambiguity.Conclusion: Increased focus on enhancing financial compensation, responsibility cognition, education and training, and greater consideration of institutional factors could help clinical pharmacists better manage their work environments and provide higher-quality pharmaceutical care.
