- Abstract
Introduction: work-related stress is an important issue among intensive care staff and is the basis for the development of the burnout syndrome. The characteristics of work environment and work organizational procedures are very important factors for the onset of burnout. Objective: to measure burnout levels of nursing staff by assessing how the organization of work in intensive care units with the departmental management model influences stress levels. Methods: administration of the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire to nurses of the Intensive Care Department that work with adult patients. Results: 38 (82%) nurses participated in the study. 47.4% showed high levels of emotional exhaustion, in particular 44.7% of the interviewees reported the "perception of being exhausted at the end of the work day" while 36.8% underlined the "feeling of working too hard". ICU nurses with less professional experience (less than 10 years) have higher levels of emotional exhaustion than their senior colleagues and a lower level of personal accomplishment. Conclusions: 35% of nurses have a medium-high burnout level and this should lead to a global reflection on the departmental administration model and a call for action to improve the staff quality life inside the hospital.
