ABSTRACT
Healthcare workers (HCWs) represent a demographic at high risk of encountering adverse mental health issues on a global scale. Substantial research has consistently shown that HCWs are particularly vulnerable to experiencing significant levels of psychological distress.
This study’s primary objective is to investigate the relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress concerning burnout among a selected group of nurses at the Philippine Orthopedic Center. The researcher applied a descriptive correlational design using employed purposive sampling.
The utilization of the DASS-21 and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory questionnaires revealed that nurse respondents displayed normal levels of depression (48.68%) and anxiety (63.16%) with mild levels of stress (42.11%). In terms of burnout, most respondents reported personal burnout (51.32%) and work-related burnout (44.74%). A significant portion of participants showed occasional occurrences of client-related burnout (43.42%). When examining the relationships among different domains, the Cramer’s V test indicated a significant association between depression and both work-related and client-related burnout. Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between anxiety and work-related as well as client-related burnout. Furthermore, stress was found to be significantly linked to personal, work-related, and client-related burnout.
The findings from this study have been instrumental in the development of stress management initiatives aimed at alleviating burnout among nurses. It is imperative that stress and burnout management programs are implemented by nurses within the hospital setting to reduce the risk of burnout.
