Are Registered Nurses Working in an Acute Care Environment Facing Burnout during the Covid-19 Pandemic?
Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Burnout has been an important and frequently discussed topic in nursing research even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, burnout has previously been identified as one of the major stressors that Registered Nurses have left the acute care field, and now, the COVID-19 pandemic is adding to the already stressful typical workday of an acute care registered nurse. A pilot study was completed on a COVID telemetry unit at a suburban hospital.
