(Saudi Digital Library, 2023) Alharbi, Ayub; Dornan, Lesley
Background. The nursing profession is viewed as highly stressful due to its demanding and complicated nature. It has been reported that nurses encounter high levels of work-related stress and burnout compared to other healthcare workers. Objective. The main objective of this study was to assess the levels of work-related stress and burnout and examine the relationship between them among hospital nurses in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. Methods. This is a quantitative cross-sectional study conducted among public hospital nurses in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) were used to measure burnout and work-related stress, respectively, and data were collected through a self-reporting questionnaire. Results. A total of 253 participants responded to the survey, a response rate of 92.0%. The results indicated that 75.5% and 22.5% of the participants had moderate and high levels of work-related stress, respectively. Among the participants, 44.3%, 56.9% and 86.6% had high levels of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalisation (DP) and reduced personal accomplishment (PA), respectively. Significant positive correlations were found between work-related stress and burnout subscales; EE (r = 0.423), DP (r = 0.358) and reduced PA (r = 0.208). It was also found that work-related stress had a positive and statistically significant effect on burnout (β = 1.45, 95% CI: 0.76 to 2.10, p-value = 0.001). However, the findings revealed that nationality (β = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.09 to 0.11, p-value = 0.864) and hospital type (small: β = -0.03, 95% CI: -0.17 to 0.10, p-value = 0.709; large: β = -0.02, 95% CI: -0.15 to 0.11, p-value = 0.808) did not moderate this relationship. Conclusion. Hospital administration and nursing leadership teams must provide essential alleviation strategies to diminish work-related stress and burnout among nurses.
