Nursing burnout Statistics: Considering the pandemic and post-pandemic time, nursing burnout has become a significant issue in the healthcare industry. We have seen the problems faced by the nurses during the lockdown about they were treated and what kind of exhaustion they faced. But even after 2 years of that event the healthcare industry is still facing the same problem. The major reason behind this problem is the low level of hiring in the nursing segment in healthcare units around the world. These nursing burnout statistics are written with insights from around the globe to understand the severity of the problem. It has included various types of content along with interesting graphics for a better level of understanding. Editor’s Choice In the United States of America, there are around 2.7 million nurses who reported feeling burnout during work in 2022. As of today, Belgium has 60% of the burnout nurses while there are 40% in Uganda. According to Nursing burnout statistics, there are around 81.2% of female nurses and 18.8% of male nurses feel burned out during the sessions of their job. 5% of the nurses in China had suicidal thoughts while 17% of nurses in Australia took mental health support. 6% belonged to the age group of 26 years to 30 years facing the highest number of burned out in all the other age groups. On average today, nursing burnout statistics say that low staffing resulting in 80.19% was the main reason for burnout. 46% and 22% belong to the reasons of ethical dilemmas physical attacks from patients or patients’ families in the United States of America. According to the Nursing burnout statistics, it has been estimated that the world will face a shortage of nurses by the year 2030 resulting in a number of 13 million. As of today, the turnover rate of nurses due to burnout is 27.1%. For every 1% of the turnover in the nursing field, it will cost hospitals around $2,62,300 every year.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To identify the presence of occupational stress in nursing professionals of a university hospital in the inlands of the state of Minas Gerais and examine influence of sociodemographic and occupational characteristics in this disease. Methods: Cross-sectional, exploratory and quantitative study with 124 professional nurses from a university hospital in the inlands of the state of Minas Gerais. The adapted and validated Portuguese version of the Job Stress Scale (JSS) was used for the performance of the study. Results: Most professionals were women (87.9%) with a mean age of 40.2 years, 80.6% were nursing technicians and 71.8% of the sample had some degree of exposure to occupational stress. Conclusions: The occupational stress index was higher than that observed in previous studies. Data obtained in the study point to the need to implement institutional measures for the prevention of occupational stress, especially by strengthening social support at work.

The nurse, located at the center of the health system, is expected to constantly enrich his/her cognitive background, the professional proficiency and the possessed communication and cooperation skills. Moreover he/she has to manage all issues pertaining to the health progress of the patients, handle emergencies, cooperate efficiently with other medical and paramedical staff and update and encourage the patient’s relatives. To serve these functions, the nurse is expected to work hard under adverse conditions mainly due to the ongoing economic crisis that strikes the Greek society. The hospital staff in Greece was notably reduced by 15% in the years between 2010- 2017, whereas the proportion between the nursing staff and the general population is by far the worst in the EU (3.2 nurses against an average of 8.4 nurses in the EU per 1000 inhabitants), as stated in the EU “Greece’s Health Profile in 2017”. An average nurse is overwhelmed by emotions of tension, alertness, joy, satisfaction alternated with disappointment, fatigue, fear and sadness. This is the main reason why the nurses sometimes leave a bad impression of being distant and indifferent professionals and most of the times they are treated likewise; That’s happening due to their internal striving to balance all the aforementioned contrasting feelings created through the interaction with the working environment. The nurse’s qualifications are not only confined to the typical ones. The latter are those that will secure him/her with a steady job after his/her studies and the internship. It is imperative that he/she will give a daily struggle to produce the best outcome. Sometimes - most of the times, thankfully - the nurse will succeed, some other times, he won’t. What is happening then in those cases? Did he/she overestimate own potentials, was there any mistake, did the team cooperate in a wrong way? It is needed to find an educated answer to these questions. This entire quest for the truth, the demand for a validated search with supporting evidence, the concern for the healthcare of the suffering person and the health promotion in general place the Nurse Science in the spectrum of the applied sciences.

BackgroundNurses and researchers emphasize the importance of adding educational content of palliative care to nursing curricula in Iran as a means to improve the quality of care at the end of life and self-efficacy is considered as an important determinant in palliative care nursing. However, undergraduate nursing students are not sufficiently trained to achieve the qualifications required in palliative care. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combined training (theoretical-practical) of palliative care on the perceived self-efficacy of nursing students.MethodsThis is a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. Sampling was nonrandomized with convenience method and included 23 seventh-semester students. The intervention consisted of palliative care training for ten theoretical sessions and three practical sessions. Data were collected using demographic and the perceived self-efficacy questionnaires completed before and after the intervention. Data were then analyzed in the statistical SPSS 23 software using descriptive and analytical statistics.ResultsThe mean age of the samples was 22.78 (SD1.17). Most of the participants were male (56.5%) and single(91.3%). The findings showed that, perceived self-efficacy, psycho-social support and symptom management improved significantly after the intervention (p

The average age of registered midwives in Poland increased from 43 years in 2018 to nearly 52 years in 2024.

BackgroundWorkplace violence is a significant cause of work-related stress in nursing, affecting job performance and satisfaction and increasing burnout risk. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of verbal and physical violence against psychiatric nurses and its impact on their quality of life.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from April to October 2024. A sample of 171 nurses was selected using a convenience sampling method. The study was carried out at Eradah Complex for Mental Health in Arar City, Eradah Hospital for Mental Health in Al Jouf City, and Mental Health Hospital in Al Qurayyat City. The authors evaluated workplace violence and quality of life among nurses using a questionnaire-based interview and a 36-item quality of life assessment tool. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.ResultsThe participants’ mean age was 34.85 ± 4.74 years, 67.8% were male, and 52.7% had over 10 years of experience. The overall prevalence of workplace violence was found to be 100%, with 62% exposed to verbal violence and 38% to physical violence. Regarding quality of life, 66% had an average quality of life, 12.9% had a good quality of life, and 21.1% had a poor quality of life. Statistically significant associations were found between the type of violence and quality of life (P-value < 0.05).ConclusionThe study found significant levels of verbal and physical workplace violence among psychiatric nurses, with a significant correlation between violence and their quality of life. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions, including training programs, improved workplace safety policies, and continuous monitoring to support nurse well-being and job satisfaction.

Background:Treatment success rates for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in South Africa remain close to 50%. Lack of access to timely, decentralized care is a contributing factor. We evaluated MDR-TB treatment outcomes from a clinical cohort with task-sharing between a clinical nurse practitioner (CNP) and a medical officer (MO). Methods:We completed a retrospective evaluation of outcomes from a prospective, programmatically-based MDR-TB cohort who were enrolled and received care between 2012 and 2015 at a peri-urban hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Treatment was provided by either by a CNP or MO. Findings:The cohort included 197 participants with a median age of 33 years, 51% female, and 74% co-infected with HIV. The CNP initiated 123 participants on treatment. Overall MDR-TB treatment success rate in this cohort was 57.9%, significantly higher than the South African national average of 45% in 2012 (p<0·0001) and similar to the provincal average of 60% (p=NS). There were no significant differences by provider type: treatment success was 61% for patients initiated by the CNP and 52.7% for those initiated by the MO. Interpretation:Clinics that adopted a task sharing approach for MDR-TB demonstrated greater treatment success rates than the national average. Task-sharing between the CNP and MO did not adversely impact treatment outcome with similar success rates noted. Task-sharing is a feasible option for South Africa to support decentralization without compromising patient outcomes. Models that allow sharing of responsibility for MDR-TB may optimize the use of human resources and improve access to care.

To determine the impact of prenatal and infant/toddler nurse home visiting on maternal and child mortality over 20 years following program enrollment. Three randomized controlled trials (Elmira, NY; Memphis, TN; Denver, CO) designed originally to assess program impacts on pregnancy outcomes and maternal and child health through child age 2. Each trial included a control group, a group that received the full intervention (nurse visitation through child age 2), and an alternative treatment group (nurse home visitation through pregnancy only or visitation by paraprofessionals through child age 2). Due to sample size considerations, the Elmira and Denver samples were combined for all mortality analyses. For determining mortality, background information used for determining mortality status was available for all 1138 mothers randomized to a Memphis treatment condition and all but 13 of the live-born children (n=1076). For the combined Elmira and Denver group, background information was available for all 1135 mothers randomized to any one of the treatment conditions and all but 10 of the live born children (n=1087). Pregnant women and their first-born children who were enrolled in one of three trials of the Nurse-Family Partnership (Elmira, Memphis, Denver) were included in the current study. The Elmira sample (N = 400) was enrolled between April 1978 and September 1980 with an 80% recruitment rate. At enrollment, 47% of the participating women were younger than 19 years of age, 62% were unmarried, and 61% came from families in Hollingshead’s social classes IV and V (semi-skilled and unskilled laborers). In the Memphis trial, a total of 1138 out of 1289 eligible women (88.3%) completed informed consent and were randomized from June 1, 1990, through August 31, 1991. We enrolled primarily African American women at less than 29 weeks of gestation, with no previous live births, and with at least 2 of the following socio-demographic risk characteristics: unmarried, less than 12 years of education, and unemployed. Of the women enrolled, 92.1% were African American, 98.1% were unmarried, 64.1% were 18 years or younger at registration, and 85.1% came from households with annual incomes below the US federal poverty guidelines. Denver trial enrollment took place between March 1994 and June 1995 with a total of 735 out of 1178 consecutive pregnant women with no previous live births who were eligible for Medicaid or who had no private health insurance enrolled in the trial and were randomized to control, paraprofessional, or nurse-visited conditions. 86% of participating women were unmarried, 42% were under 19 years of age, 45% were Latino, and on average participants lived in census tracts where 20% of the population was below the poverty line. The current study was approved by the University of Rochester Institutional Review Board and the Combined Institutional Review Board of the University of Colorado.

This table shows the average number of hours worked per week for salaried medical workers by sector in a reporting year. The medically trained are divided into a number of professions, including the specialisms per profession, on the basis of the BIG register. This table only gives figures for the socio-economic category 'employee', i.e. persons whose main source of income is paid employment. Figures are broken down by age and gender.

Medically trained people can have multiple powers. As a result, the sum of the details may differ from the total.

In 2014, there was a sharp decrease in the number of registered nurses, midwives and physiotherapists in the BIG register. This is the result of a mandatory re-registration and stricter work experience requirements. In 2017, there was a decrease in the number of registered dentists, pharmacists, healthcare psychologists and psychotherapists as a result of mandatory re-registration. In 2018, there was a decrease in basic doctors as a result of compulsory re-registration. In 2019, the number of registered nurses, midwives and physiotherapists decreased again as a result of the 5 yearly re-registration introduced in 2014. In 2021, the classification of nursing specialists was adjusted. All nursing specialists registered in 2020 in the specialisms acute care or intensive care have been converted into the new specialism general health care (AGZ) in the BIG register as of 2021. In addition, a large part of the nursing chronic care has also been transferred to nurse AGZ as of 2021.

Background: Although pain control for hospitalized patients is a central issue for all health care providers, nurses' knowledge, and attitudes are the major barriers. Educational program is a strategy to improve nurses' knowledge and attitudes on pain management. However, there is paucity of information on how in-service education program influences nurses' knowledge and attitudes score for pain management in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was therefore, to investigate the influence of an in-service educational program on nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management in an Ethiopian university hospital.Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted between 1 October and 15 November 2016. Totally 111 nurses working at Jimma University Medical Center participated in the study. We provided 2 consecutive days of intensive pain management education with a follow-up training session after 1 month. Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) was used as a tool for measuring the impact of educational program. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and results were considered significant at p < 0.05.Result: Of the 111 nurses, who participated in the study, 39.5% were female, 46.8% had a baccalaureate degree, and 67.6% had worked in nursing for 6–10 years. The mean age of respondents was 26.9 (SD ± 5.6) years. On average, participants answered 41.4% of the survey items correctly before the intervention and 63.0% after the intervention. The mean rank score of nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain significantly improved following participation in the educational program (Z = −9.08, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The educational program improved nurses' scores for pain management knowledge and attitudes. This may lead to more effective pain management by nurses.

This dataset includes the raw data which its article published on Nurse Educator, titled "Self-Leadership and Associated Factors in Nursing Students: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed-Methods Study" (DOI:10.1097/NNE.0000000000001762). The research questions and findings can be found in the published article. As intended, the raw dataset is made public after its publication as an article.

The dataset comprises raw data derived from an extensive nationwide online survey distributed through two nursing student NGOs. The survey was conducted between June 2020 and Arpil 2022, involving 943 nursing students in Türkiye. Its objective was to assess self-leadership perceptions and the influencing factors among nursing students. The original dataset was in Turkish. To enhance accessibility, it was translated into English along with corresponding codifications.

The survey covered the following key dimensions:

• Assessment of nursing students' self-leadership perceptions, with the utilization of Houghton and Neck's Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire (RSLQ). • Compilation of descriptive attributes characterizing the nursing students, encompassing variables such as age, gender, place of residence, income level, grade, overall grade point average (GPA), and employment status. • Diverse facets including previous participation in leadership or management training courses, affiliation with student clubs or non-governmental organizations (NGOs), assumption of managerial roles, involvement in scientific endeavors, and delineation of career aspirations.

In our research, an examination of the normal distribution was undertaken utilizing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, based on the available dataset. The quantitative data analysis encompassed the utilization of various statistical parameters such as percentages, frequencies, means, medians, standard deviations, and minimum-maximum values. These parameters were applied to ascertain the descriptive attributes of the student cohort as well as the scale scores. Additionally, a comparative assessment of scale scores across distinct groups was carried out through the application of the Mann Whitney U test. To assess potential associations, the Spearman correlation coefficient was employed to investigate the interplay between age, the quantity of scientific activities undertaken, and the resultant scale scores. The predetermined threshold for statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Objective: To determine how patient experience with nursing care influence patient satisfaction with overall hospital services.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

Setting: Inpatients were consecutively recruited at the national hospital (with 2000 beds) in Shanghai, China.

Participants: The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) hospitalized for 2 days or more; (2) able to read and understand Chinese; and (3) aged 18 years old or above. Patients with mental health problems were excluded. 756 patient surveys distributed among 36 wards were analyzed. The mean age of participants in the study was 57.7 (SD=14.5) and ranged from 18-80 years. Most participants were male (61.5%) and ever married (94.6%).

Primary and secondary outcome measures: Patient experience with nursing care, meaning the sum of all interactions between patients and nurses, was measured using the self-designed questionnaire, which was developed by patient interviews, literature analysis and expert consultation. The overall patient satisfaction question was measured with a ten-point response option ranging from 1-10.

Results: A linear relationship between the patient experience with nursing care and overall patient satisfaction was observed. The patient experience with nursing care was significantly associated with overall satisfaction in the crude model and in the adjusted models. Even after adjusting for 6 sociodemographic and 3 disease-related factors, the patient experience with nursing care explained 34.9% of the variation in overall patient satisfaction.

Conclusions: This study showed that patient experience with nursing care was an important predictor for overall patient satisfaction.

Background: The global expansion of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) includes health systems that face a shortage of skilled health care workers (HCWs). We estimated the human resource needs and costs for providing PrEP in nurse-led primary care clinics in Eswatini. Furthermore, we assessed potential cost savings from task sharing between nurses and other HCW cadres. Methods: We conducted a time-and-motion and costing study in a PrEP demonstration project between August 2017 and January 2019. A form for recording time and performed activities (“motion”) was filled by HCWs of six primary care clinics. To estimate the human resource needs for specific PrEP activities, we allocated recorded times to performed PrEP activities using linear regression with and without adjusting for a workflow interruption, that is, if a client was seen by different HCWs or by the same HCW at different times. We assessed a base case in which a nurse provides all PrEP activities and five task shifting scenarios, of which four include workflow interruptions due to task sharing between different HCW cadres. Results: On average, PrEP initiation required 29 min (95% CI 25–32) of HCW time and PrEP follow-up 16 min (95% CI 14–18). The HCW time cost $4.55 (uncertainty interval [UI] 1.52–9.69) for PrEP initiation and $2.54 (UI 1.07–4.64) for PrEP follow-up when all activities were performed by a nurse. Time costs were $2.30–4.25 (UI 0.62–9.19) for PrEP initiation and $1.06–2.60 (UI 0.30–5.44) for PrEP follow-up when nurses shared tasks with HCWs from lower cadres. Interruptions of the workflow added, on average, 3.4 min (95% CI 0.69–6.0) to the time HCWs needed for a given number of PrEP activities. The cost of an interrupted workflow was estimated at $0.048–0.87 (UI 0.0098–1.63) depending on whose time need increased. Conclusions: A global shortage of skilled HCWs could slow the expansion of PrEP. Task shifting to lower-cadre HCW in nurse-led PrEP provision can free up nurse time and reduce the cost of PrEP provision even if interruptions associated with task sharing increase the overall human resource need.
