Keywords:
Burnout Syndrome, Social Predictors, Nurses, Teaching HospitalAbstract
Aims: This study aimed to identify the social predictors of burnout syndrome among nurses in a Nigerian teaching hospital
Methods: A cross sectional survey design was employed. Nursing staff of Obafemi Awolowo Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Nigeria were systematically selected form a comprehensive list that comprised the an alphabetical arrangement of nurses across all departments. Information collected from the respondents, using a quantitative method were analysed using Chi Square p <.05
Results: Findings from the study revealed that there was no statistically significant association between burnout syndrome (across personal, work, and Client relations burnout rates) and nearly all the socio-demographic variables, except in the case of marital status and work burnout rate.
Conclusion: Although, they may engage in a selfless vocation, however, there is the need to understand that these health professionals (nurses in this case) are also humans, and are susceptible to being overwhelmed by the activities they engage in, in their personal lives, at work, and in their relations with people, either in a formal or informal setting.
