Burnout happens depending on the level of stress in the working place and nurses of different practices might be more subjected to emotional tension compared to others. According to Abellanoza et al. (2018), many researchers in the medical industry became interested in burnout and how it can be caused. Consequently, the study regarding ER nurses and the effect on their emotional stability was conducted to find out how the problem occurs and what are the common ways to avoid it. The sample size is small and equals five nurses from one medical organization. With the use of specific combinations and computers, the most realistic result was detected. There are approximately more than 2.75 million nurses in the USA and the number is increasing every year causing about 40% of burnout (Abellanoza et al., 2018). Nurses working in the emergency room are at a higher risk of stress as they are required to make quick decisions and work in a tense environment every day compared to nurses in the general practice.
The authors have used data from the past studies and approved them with the latest findings to make the evidence more reliable. Moreover, by collaborating with IT experts all calculations were done accurately to ensure the validity of the measurements. The data was analyzed from personal and financial aspects to understand how both aspects are related. It was found out that nurses’ burnout can cause financial problems to medical organizations as there will be a lack of workers. Also, over the 12-month period, the patients’ experience might decrease causing more stress on nurses who are not working in the emergency room (Abellanoza et al., 2018). The authors did not mention conflicts that appeared during the study, but it remained complicated to collect data outside the US.
The study shows that motivation, leadership, and career growth may decrease the level of burnout but increase the general dissatisfaction with the work. Many previous types of research only state the fact of nurse burnout, but the findings of Abellanoza et al. (2018) have supported the point as a valuable examination result. Consequently, this topic is crucial for clinical practice as it shows the psychology of nurses, in what cases the stress appears, and what are the most common solutions to this problem that might decrease the efficiency of the medical sphere.
