Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of positive and negative affect and self-efficacy in nurses&rsquo; occupational burnout.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Tools and Methods: </span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">This descriptive-correlational study was conducted among all nurses working in Bojnord hospitals in 1403, totaling 596 individuals, of whom 234 were selected by random sampling.
