Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current situation of nursing interns' nomophobia and job burnout,and explore their correlation. Methods A total of 141 nursing interns from a grade-A tertiary hospital in Luzhou City were selected by the convenience sampling method from August to October 2024,and the survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire,the nomophobia questionnaire-Chinese version,and Maslach burout inventory. Results The total score of nomophobia was(85.61±23.44) points,the scores of job burnout dimensions were as follows:emotional exhaustion dimension(37.06±12.41)points,depersonalization dimension(12.14±6.65)points,and personal accomplishment dimension(18.37±12.08)points. The total score of nomophobia was positively correlated with emotional exhaustion(r=0.702,P<0.01) and depersonalization dimension(r=0.446,P<0.01),while negatively correlated with the personal accomplishment dimension(r=-0.360,P<0.01). Conclusions The nursing interns from a grade-A tertiary hospital in Luzhou City exhibit a moderate-to-high level of nomophobia,and a severe level of job burnout. The nomophobia can affect job burnout. The nursing managers can alleviate job burnout among interns by reducing their nomophobia,so as to improve the quality and safety of clinical nursing.
