The relationship between stress and burnout in nurses in residential centers

The present research paper analyzes the existing link between occupational stress and burnout syndrome in nurses in residential centers. In the first chapter we presented theoretical notions about stress and burnout. The second chapter deals with the research part. We used a sample of 60 people, 40 women and 20 men, with an average work experience of 20 years, working 12-24, 12-48 hours. The purpose of the research is to determine the relationship between stress and burnout in nurses working in residential centers in Techirghiol city. The research was conducted between February and March 2024. The research method was correlative and comparative. Two tools have been applied to collect data. Your stress levels were assessed using the "How stressed are you? ,,, and the level of burnout with the help of the test "Maslach Burnout Measurement Inventory". The questionnaire data were processed using the SPSS program using the parametric method (Pearson correlation coefficient; T-test) and nonparametric method (U Mann Whitney). When determining the relationship between stress and burnout, a significant correlation resulted. When comparing stress levels by gender, there was a significant difference, and comparing burnout levels resulted in an insignificant difference. Analyzing the research results, we can conclude that stress and burnout are directly proportional. As stress is greater, the manifestation of burnout is more obvious and stress is higher in women than in men, while in the case of burnout there was no difference. So stress at work can eventually generate Burnout Syndrome. Applying techniques to manage stressful feelings and emotions can help and efficiency at work will not suffer. The paper is concluded with the bibliographic sources that were the basis for the elaboration of the entire approach and which contributed significantly to the achievement of the scientific foundation in the conduct of research.
