- Abstract
Purpose/goals: Burnout is prevalent in critical care nurses and can ultimately impact patient care and provider well-being. This poster will share a study, illuminating the relationship between positive attitudes towards engaging with patients and families and reduced pediatric critical care nurse burnout. Future research into interventions to enhance nurses' comfort and ability to engage with patients and families may have impacts on both provider and patient/family well-being. Outcome 1: Define the phenomenon of burnout and the implications it has on nurses' well-being Outcome 2: Illustrate the relationship between nurse burnout and decreased family-centred care attitudes Session Description: Burnout reflects compromised wellbeing in critical care unit (CCU) nurses and can reduce performance and engagement with patients and families. This poster presents the results of a cross-sectional 42-item survey of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and cardiac critical care unit (CCCU) nurses with >3 months experience at a large pediatric tertiary care centre to measure burnout in CCU nurses and explore the relationship between burnout and CCU nurses' attitudes about patient/family engagement. This single-centre study found that more positive attitudes about engaging with patients/families were associated with greater personal accomplishment and, therefore, lower burnout. This poster will educate nurses on the prevalence and outcomes of burnout in our population and inspire more research and support in this very important area of nurse well-being.
