Abstract (996 Views)
Aims: Nurses, as the largest group of healthcare personnel, are constantly exposed to chronic stressors arising from the complexities of the work environment, heavy role-related workloads and tensions, significant professional commitments, challenges, and both internal and external organizational factors. These stressors lead to significant physical and psychological fatigue, and inadequate management may result in disruptions in patient care and treatment. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the role of positive and negative meta-emotions and self-belief in nurses’ job burnout.
Instrument & Methods: This descriptive-correlational research was conducted on 234 nurses working in hospitals in Bojnord in 2024 selected through random sampling. The research tools included the Self-Belief Scale, the Anticipatory Emotions Questionnaire, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 25.
Findings: There was a significant correlation between positive and negative meta-emotions, self-belief, and nurses’ job burnout (p<0.05). Furthermore, positive and negative meta-emotions, as well as self-belief, significantly predicted nurses’ job burnout (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There is a strong relationship between positive and negative meta-emotions and self-belief and nurses’ job burnout.
