- Abstract
Nurses are at a considerable risk of developing burnout. In Germany, there is a lack of research on the work and health situation as well as prevention among nursing staff and especially nursing assistants. This article presents the findings of a study which is based on the data basis of the representative BIBB / BAuA employment survey 2018. 532 of the 20 012 employees surveyed worked as nursing professionals and 153 as nursing assistants. 37.1 % of nurse professionals and 21.6 % of nurse assistants reported a frequent occurrence of physical and emotional exhaustion. Logistic regression analyses showed that nurses who were often put in emotionally stressful situations were more likely to experience physical and emotional exhaustion. Higher work intensity also increased the likelihood of the occurrence of physical and emotional exhaustion. Social support was identified as an important protective factor. Overall, ambivalent results are registered regarding work demands and resources, and a substantial risk of burnout becomes apparent.
