Item Restricted The prevalence of burnout and associated factors among anaesthesia providers : Scoping Review(University of leicester, 2024-09-16) Almutairi, Fahd; Rachel, EvleyBackground: Burnout is a common phenomenon among healthcare professionals and has significant negative impact on both employee wellbeing and patient safety. This scoping review aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on burnout among anaesthesia providers, focusing on prevalence, contributing factors, impact on patient safety, and potential solutions. Methods: Three electronic databases were searched to locate relevant literature, namely Scopus, Medline, and CINAHL. A total of 398 studies were identified through the search strategy, although only 18 articles met this review’s inclusion criteria. Result: 17 of the 18 studies included focused on the prevalence of burnout and its risk factors, while only one looked at interventions to reduce its prevalence. A few papers touched on recommended interventions to mitigate burnout and implications for patient safety. Factors contributing to burnout included age, gender, work experience, marital status, and organisational factors like staff shortages, working hours, workload, and support. Anaesthesia healthcare professionals' burnout negatively impacted work performance and patient safety. The review found individual and organisational interventions such as mindfulness-based programs, cognitive-behavioural training, small group discussions, self-care physical activity, working hour regulation, and creating career development opportunities for those with low academic qualifications. Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of burnout among anaesthesia healthcare professionals is relatively high, and is influenced by individual and organisational factors. It was slightly higher after the COVID-19 pandemic. This calls for greater organisational attention to ameliorating the phenomenon of burnout, thereby improving employee wellbeing, which will benefit care quality and patient safety.19 0Item Restricted The Risk Factors of Job Burnout Among Nurses in Saudi Arabia: A Quantitative Method Systematic Review(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-12-13) Alharthi, Ibtisam; Louuise, HodgsonJob burnout, more simply referred to as ‘burnout’, describes a psychological syndrome triggered by chronic, unaddressed stress in the workplace. The high prevalence of burnout among nurses poses a significant challenge, exacerbating the already critical issue of nursing shortages worldwide. Saudi Arabia has recorded particularly high rates of burnout among nurses, at between 32% and 71%, but the factors which cause burnout in the country are not well-understood. This study reports the findings of a systematic review which examines the prevalence and risk factors associated with burnout among nurses in public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. It examines 10 studies conducted between 2018 – 2023 and provides an updated estimate of burnout based on prevalence rates reported across the country. It also identifies the leading factors associated with burnout in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, categorising them as either sociodemographic, occupational or psychosocial and discussing the reasons for them. The study estimates that the current prevalence of burnout among nurses in Saudi hospitals is 51.3%, with the highest rates in the north of the country and the lowest rates in the south. The main sociodemographic factors affecting burnout are gender, age, nationality, marital status, education and medical history. The occupational factors include weekly work hours, shift patterns, department, career rank, years of experience and salary level. Psychosocial factors affecting burnout include emotional demands, commitment, influence and work, reward and recognition, role clarity and health and well-being. The study concludes by discussing the implications of the research for advanced nurse practitioners and evidence-based practice and proposes a number of recommendations to reduce the risk of burnout among nurses based on the findings of the systematic review.46 0Item Restricted Assessing the Relationship between Burnout Syndrome and Job Stress among Nursing Staff in Saudi Arabia(Saudi Digital Library, 2023) Alharbi, Ayub; Dornan, LesleyBackground. 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.47 0
