The relation of work stress, hardiness, and burnout among full-time hospital staff nurses

M A Collins. J Nurs Staff Dev. 1996 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

In this descriptive study, the author examined the relation of work stress, hardiness, and burnout among 113 full-time hospital staff nurses. It was hypothesized that among hospital staff nurses: 1) the greater personality hardiness, the less job stress; and 2) the greater personality hardiness, the less burnout. Instruments used were Personal Views Survey, Nursing Stress Scale, and Tedium Burnout Scale. Promoting hardiness through nursing staff development programs may help manage stress and reduce burnout in the healthcare setting.
