Detailed Description

Healthcare professionals, in particular, hospital-based nursing and medical staff, especially surgical specialities, are experiencing symptoms of burnout as never before. Within healthcare, job commitment is at stake leading to staff shortages which places further stress on the health care system, creating a vicious cycle of stressful work environment.

This is the context of the present study, and our aim is to explore quantitatively how factors like resilience, work-setting factors like job support, autonomy and leadership contribute to burnout in hospital-based nursing and medical personnel. These factors have been found to be predictive of burnout with few studies looking at synergistic interactions between these predictors. A survey design will be used for quantitative data collection. This study will also include qualitative interview-based study to complement the quantitative study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Resilience scores among hospital-based doctors and nurses
Time Frame: 5 months
Resilience will be measured with Short Resilience Survey (SRS), an 8-item short resilience scale developed for healthcare workers. This measure consists of two subscales, Activation and Decompression. An examples of Decompression items include "can enjoy my personal time without focusing on work matters" and Activation "I care for all patients/clients equally even when it is difficult." These measures exist independent of employee engagement, indicating an empirical distinction between the two concepts. Response categories on the items (with 1 =Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree), with higher scores indicating better Activation and Decompression ability.
