Abstract:

Objective To explore the influencing factors of job burnout in emergency room nurses,and to analyze the mediating effect of work-family conflict between organizational climate and job burnout. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select nurses from the emergency room of Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University as survey subjects from January 2022 to January 2024. A questionnaire survey was conducted using demographic information questionnaire,Maslach job burnout scale,organizational climate scale and work-family conflict scale. The structural equation model was constructed by AMOS 7.0 to test the mediating effect. Results A total of 70 questionnaires were distributed and 68 were collected,with a response rate of 97.14%. The total scores of job burnout,work-family conflict and organizational climate were(61.52±9.30),(17.96±3.58) and(85.29±7.34) points,respectively,which were all at middle levels. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of job burnout among nurses with different age,marriage age,technical titles,childbearing status and number of monthly night shifts(all P<0.05). Childbearing number ≥2 and number of monthly night shifts ≥10 were influencing factors of job burnout among emergency room nurses(both P<0.05). The total score of job burnout was positively correlated with total score of work-family conflict,while negatively correlated with total score of organizational climate,and total score of work-family conflict was negatively correlated with total score of organizational climate(all P<0.05). Work-family conflict played partial mediating effect between organizational climate and job burnout,accounting for 25.38% of the total effect. Conclusion Childbearing status and number of night shifts are influencing factors of job burnout in emergency room nurses,and work-family conflict plays partial mediating effect between organizational climate and job burnout.
