  AUTHORS: Mohammed Majrabi

  KEYWORDS: Nurses’ Burnout, Resilience, Safety Culture

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Nursing, Vol.12 No.1, January 29, 2022

  ABSTRACT: Background: The focus of this study was on burnout, resilience and its effect on safety culture. The study maintained that healthcare organizations lag behind in the race to address burnout because they focus more on dealing with the already-existing burnout other than focusing on the source. Aims: To assess burnout, resilience and its association to safety culture in nurses working in mental health institutions with psychiatric patients in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Method: The study design was a cross sectional survey using convenience sampling, and 119 participants from Al-Amal and psychiatric hospital in Jazan in the period between June and August 2018. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess burnout, resilience and its association to safety culture. Results: A large percentage of nurses feel that the appropriate information about performance is not presented to them. They feel that they are deprived of a great working day and environment and plan to leave their current workplaces to get better opportunities where their career opportunities are more appreciated. Findings: A significant percentage of nurses feel that appropriate feedback about performance is not offered to them. They feel their careers are unappreciated and are burned out on a typical workday and plan to leave their current workplaces for better opportunities. Conclusion: This study supported the adoption of healthcare mechanisms to address the source of nurse’s burnout than addressing this issue when it emerges. The focus on the source can prove effective in building resilience and supporting safety culture.
