The Relationship between Stress and Burnout in Nurses in Residential Centers

Summary/Abstract: This research paper analyzes the existing link between professional stress and Burnout syndrome in nurses in residential centers. In the first chapter, we presented theoretical notions about stress and burnout The second chapter refers to the research part. We used a sample of 60 people, 40 women and 20 men, with an average work experience of 20 years, having a work schedule of 12-24, 12-48 hours. The purpose of the research is to determine the relationship between stress and burnout in nurses working in residential centers in the city of Techirghiol. The research was carried out during February-March 2024. The research method was correlative and comparative. Two instruments were applied for data collection. The stress level was assessed using the test "How stressed are you?" ,,, and the level of burnout using the test,, Maslach Burnout Inventory,,. The questionnaire data were processed using the SPSS program using the parametric method (Pearson correlation coefficient; t-test) and the non-parametric method (U Mann Whitney). In the case of determining the relationship between stress and burnout, a significant correlation resulted. In the case of comparing the level of stress according to gender, a significant difference resulted, and in the case of comparing the level of burnout, a non-significant difference resulted. Analyzing the research results, we can conclude that stress and burnout are directly proportional. As the stress is higher, the manifestation of burnout is more obvious and stress is higher in women than in men, while in the case of burnout, no difference was found. So stress at work can ultimately generate Burnout Syndrome. Applying techniques for managing stressful feelings and emotions can help and workplace efficiency will not suffer. The paper concludes with the bibliographic sources that formed the basis for the development of the entire approach and which significantly contributed to the achievement of the scientific foundation in conducting the research.
