Summary
This paper on Burnout from Monash University in Australia relates to Specific Contributing Factors and Health Outcomes among Nurses: A Systematic Review (2013) was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 2013, 10, 2214-2240; doi:10.3390/ijerph10062214
It concluded: “Identified relationships in this review were mostly two- and to a lesser extent three-way relationships, with minimal focus on the causal nature and direction of relationships. Further research exploring mediating and moderating effects of relationships between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health over longer periods of time are necessary for establishing causality. Understanding causality will allow for specific and appropriate strategies to address challenges of work related stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction and poor general health among nurses, such as low productivity, poor service delivery and adverse patient outcomes.”
