Abstract

Healthcare administrators must sustain the nursing workforce by minimizing workplace stress, the intent to leave, and burnout while maintaining a safe, accessible, high-quality, patient-centered care environment. This quantitative study examined the relationship between the independent variable of self-efficacy and the dependent variables of nurse burnout, workplace stress, and the intent to leave. The theory that grounded this study was the theory of self-efficacy. The research questions were formatted to determine the correlation between the self-efficacy levels of nurses and burnout, workplace stress, and the intent to leave. A quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional (analytical) design addressed the research questions. The secondary data comprised 767 nurses from private and public hospitals in two countries. The tools used in the study were a Modified Maslach Burnout Inventory, a Modified Core Self-Evaluations Scale, a Modified Professional Status Scale, and the Job Satisfaction Survey. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and multivariate analysis of variance. The findings of this study demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between burnout and self-efficacy, as well as stress and self-efficacy. This study demonstrated no statistically significant relationship between the intent to leave and self-efficacy. The study results can impact positive social change and validate nurse developmental training strategies for healthcare administrators to implement that focus on increasing self-efficacy and reducing burnout, workplace stress, and nurse turnover, increasing the quality of care for all.
