Individual Literature Review
Group Research Topic and Problem The research question my group and I formulated is, what are the interventions to decrease nurse burnouts in the health care setting? According to the National Nurses United, “Burnout is categorized as physical, mental and emotional exhaustion” (Ericksen, 2015). A nurse that experiences a burnout strongly effects his or her emotions and decreases their motivation, which can lead to a decrease in patient care. Furthermore, this stress factor is causing more and more nurses to leave the field of nursing. It has been found that, “the vacancy rate for registered nurses continues to rise and currently stands at 8.5%” (Nursing Solutions Inc., 2016). There are several factors that cause a nurse burnout, they include, “long shifts, putting others first, busy high-stress environments, and dealing with sickness and death” (Ericksen, 2015). A combination of these factors can be very harmful to a nurse’s career, but more importantly, to the patient’s safety.
Literature Search Strategy The search terms I used to find my article included, nurse burnout and prevention. I then put these specific terms into Chamberlain’s Library Database. The search engine then found 6,100 articles related to my search terms. I then began to narrow my search results by limiting to full text articles and academic …show more content…
Kim). This experiment was identified as a quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design, which would be considered as a quantitative experiment, which in turn would have to include both an independent and dependent variable. The independent variable of this study was identified as the intervention program, “Hardiness Education”. Though not specifically stated in the article, the dependent variable was the effect of hardiness and burnout on registered
