- Abstract
Aim: Nursing is considered one of the most stressful professions owing to the emotional nature of patient demands, long working hours, workload, imbalance between work and personal life and inter-professional as well as interpersonal conflicts. The main aim is to analyse the psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Materials and methods: A total of 1696 nurses working in Romanian emergency clinical hospitals were surveyed by applying the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis suggests that the model which could be considered the most appropriate for the Romanian population is the three-dimensional model, including the following sub-dimensions: personal burnout, work-related burnout and patientsrelated burnout. Conclusions: The main contribution of this study is the adaptation of Copenhagen Burnout Inventory for the Romanian population. Stress of the medical staff must be constantly and systematically identified, so that preventive measures can be taken or early intervention be applied in every stressful situation.
