Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting work engagement and burnout among clinical nurses according to resilience.

Methods

The study design was a descriptive survey and questionnaires were collected from 182 clinical nurses who worked in hospitals in "J" province. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regressions.

Results

The mean score of resilience, work engagement, burnout were 3.47±0.38, 4.29±0.98, 2.25±0.82 respectively. Resilience had 26.3% of the influence on work engagement and 50.5% of the influence on burnout. Sub-variables of causal analysis and empathy of resilience were statistically useful as factors influencing burnout.

Conclusion

Resilience has been identified as a factor affecting work engagement and burnout. Therefore, nursing departments and nurse managers should strive to develop programs for the promotion of resilience.
