Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify the frequency of burnout and its associated factors among nurses. METHODS: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Karachi from February 1 to March 31, 2018, and comprised nurses from Dow University Hospital and Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital who had minimum one-year working experience in a tertiary care setting. Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to measure burnout among the nurses. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. RESULTS: Of the 227 nurses, 155(68.3%) were males, 115(50.7%) had 3-5 years of professional experience, and 145(63.9%) had moderate burnout. There was significant association of burnout with duration of professional experience (p=0.004), job nature (p=0.044) and equipment facility in the assigned units (p=0.22). CONCLUSIONS: Moderate level of burnout was found among two-third of the nurses working in tertiary care hospitals in Karachi.
