Abstract

Background. Burnout is a pressing concern among Emergency Ward (EW) nurses, stemming from the intense demands of their profession, including long hours, exposure to traumatic events, and the need for quick decision-making. This issue not only affects nurses' well-being but also has repercussions for patient care and the healthcare system.

Objective. This study aimed to investigate the association between effort-reward and work-life imbalance on burnout among EW nurses in a public hospital.

Methods. The study was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted from February to May 2022 involving 32 EW nurses employed at Public Hospital I.A. Moeis Hospital in Samarinda City, Indonesia. The research employed several instruments for data collection through stratified random sampling. Chi square and logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the factors contributing to burnout among EW nurses, including effort-reward imbalance, worklife balance, namely monotonous work, self-efficacy, communication among healthcare professionals, and workload.

Result. There was positive correlation between effort-reward and work-life imbalance on burnout among EW nurses. The multivariate test results showed that workload, self-efficacy, communication, and monotonous work had higher risk of developing burnout in EW nurses.

Conclusion. In this study, we found that effort-reward and work-life imbalance were significantly associated with burnout in EW nurses in a public hospital. The development of comprehensive assessment of burnout among EW nurses and its early intervention should be warranted.
