Abstract

Nurse burnout is a severe job-related condition that significantly impacts nurses' well-being. Nurse burnout is a growing concern amid the increased demand for healthcare professionals. Research has been conducted to explore nurse burnout and how it affects the quality and safety of patients. Different research has also been conducted to review different interventions to address nurse burnout, including individual and organizational interventions. Some interventions include self-care, mindfulness and meditation, coping and resilience, as well as lifestyle adjustments. Some organizational interventions include workload management, psychological safety, and job redesign. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of individual interventions to address burnout in a clinical setting in a psychiatric clinic in New Jersey. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was administered before and after the interventions to measure the level of burnout among 10 nurses in the organization. The results demonstrated a positive impact of the individual interventions on nurse burnout. There was an overall burnout reduction among the participating nurses, with lower burnout scores on the MBI scale compared to the scores before the intervention. This study is important in developing effective interventions to address burnout among nurses in a clinical setting. Keywords: nurses, burnout, exhaustion
