Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of Balint group on the emotional labor and job burnout of nurses in cardiology, to provide a reference for improving the mental health of nurses in cardiology. Methods: A total of 78 pediatric nurses were randomly divided into observation group and control group by the random number table, 39 observation group nurses were received general nursing training and the intervention of 8- week Balint group, 39 control group nurses were not received anything intervention. Before and after the intervention of 8 weeks, The Emotional Labor Scale(ELS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI) were used to evaluate the emotional labor and job burnout of nurses. Results:The age of the nurses in the observation group was(26.3±2.7) years old, with 13 undergraduates and 26 specialists; the age of the nurses in the control group was (25.8±2.1) years old, with 14 undergraduates and 25 specialists. After 8 weeks intervention, the surface action score of ELS of observation group was significantly lower than the control group, the deep action and emotional display requirement scores of ELS of observation group were significantly higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The emotional exhaustion and depersonalization factor scores of MBI of observation group were significantly lower than the control group, the personal accomplishment factor score of MBI of observation group was significantly higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The use of Balint group may have contributed to improving emotional lab and job burnout of nurses in cardiology in a large degree.
