“…As regards technological advancements, some authors have shown that they could facilitate nursing care, but also that they could sometimes be an obstacle to offer quality care [67]. And yet, the need to adapt to the continuous technological changes may generate a perception of autonomy loss and provoke stress [68]. This situation might be controlled by improving the initial and continuous education in the use of new technologies which would efficiently respond to the need of attention that patients require.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify potentially important factors in explaining burnout in nursing that have been insufficiently studied or ignored.MethodsA three-round Delphi study via e-mail correspondence was conducted, with a group of 40 European experts. The e-Delphi questionnaire consisted of 52 factors identified from a literature review. Experts rated and scored the importance of factors in the occurrence of burnout and the degree of attention given by researchers to each of the variables listed, on a six-point Likert scale. We used the agreement percentage (>80%) to measure the level of consensus between experts. Furthermore, to confirm the level of consensus, we also calculated mean scores and modes. Regardless of the degree of consensus reached by the experts, we have calculated the mean of the stability of the answers for each expert (individual's qualitative stability) and the mean of the stability percentages of the experts (qualitative group stability).ResultsThe response rate in the three rounds was 93.02% (n = 40). Eight new factors were suggested in the first round. After modified, the e-Delphi questionnaire in the second and third rounds had 60 factors. All the factors reached the third round with a consensus level above 80% in terms of the attention that researchers gave them in their studies. Moreover, the data show a total mean qualitative group stability of 96.21%. In the third round 9 factors were classified by experts as ‘studied very little’, 17 as ‘studied little’ and 34 as 'well studied'ConclusionFindings show that not all the factors that may influence nursing burnout have received the same attention from researchers. The panel of experts has identified factors that, although important in explaining burnout, have been poorly studied or even forgotten. Our results suggest that further study into factors such as a lack of recognition of part of the tasks that nurses perform, feminine stereotype or excessive bureaucracy is needed for a better understanding of this syndrome and improve the quality of life in nurses.

“…Especially in hospital departments or units where high‐acuity patients are generally admitted, electronic devices have become an integral part of daily clinical practice. Nursing personnel appreciate the positive effects of technological equipment on patient care; at the same time, they identify the risk for errors and increased stress, because of limited knowledge about the use of sophisticated devices (Kiekkas et al. 2006).…”
