Burnout Syndrome pada Perawat Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD) di Rumah Sakit X di Jawa Barat : Cross Sectional Study

Emergency department (ED) nurses have a high workload, making them at risk of experiencing burnout. Burnout negatively impacts ED nurses, patients, and hospitals as it can affect the quality of nursing care services. Currently, there is no research on burnout among ED nurses at RS X. Therefore, this study aims to identify the prevalence of burnout among ED nurses at RS X. This study employs a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The respondents were selected using a total sampling technique, with a study population consisting of 37 active ED nurses. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, which has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using univariate descriptive analysis with frequency and percentage distribution. The results showed that 32 (86.5%) ED nurses experienced mild personal burnout and client-related burnout, while 5 (13.5%) experienced severe burnout. Additionally, 36 (97.3%) ED nurses experienced mild work-related burnout, while 1 (2.7%) experienced severe burnout. Another finding identified in this study revealed that most of the work-related fatigue experienced by ED nurses was primarily physical exhaustion rather than emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, not all ED nurses have adequate coping strategies to manage work fatigue and adapt to the work environment.
