Abstract

Burnout affects all varieties of healthcare professionals, but it is especially prevalent in those who provide care for seriously ill patients. Burnout is caused by an imbalance between an employee's personal traits and workplace problems or other organizational factors. Numerous negative effects are linked to it, such as higher rates of job turnover, lower patient satisfaction, and lower levels of care quality. Additionally, it has a direct impact on the physical and mental health of the large number of critical care doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who work around the world. Nursing practice is complex, as nurses are challenged by increasingly intricate moral and ethical judgments. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between burnout and mental health in a group of intensive care unit nurses. A sample of 46 female nurses working in intensive care unit in the age range of 25-40 years was collected from Jammu city. Burnout assessment tool and mental health continuum-short form were used as tools. Results indicated significant negative relationship between burnout and mental health in nurses.
