Abstract: Most nurses face pressure issues such as salary,promotion,and workplace violence in their work,which leads to a decrease in work enthusiasm and interference in their psychological resilience.During this process,nurses gradually experience an increase in professional burnout,which in turn affects their work status and nursing quality.The conservation of resources(COR) theory is used to solve conflicts and contradictions in the context of stress.Based on the COR theory,this article reviews the evaluation tools,domestic and foreign situations,antecedent variables,and outcome variables of nurse occupational burnout,analyzes intervention strategies for alleviating occupational burnout in the future,and provides human resource management strategies for hospital managers and relevant departments to improve nurse occupational identity and benefits through theoretical guidance and practice.

Key words: Conservation of resources theory, Occupational burnout, Nursing management, Work stress, Evaluation tool
