Background of the Study
ICU nurses experience high levels of stress and emotional strain due to the intense nature of their work, which involves caring for critically ill and dying patients. Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, is prevalent among ICU nurses. Job satisfaction, on the other hand, is influenced by factors such as work environment, workload, pay, and career development. In Bauchi State hospitals, where healthcare challenges may compound these issues, understanding the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among ICU nurses is crucial for improving nurse retention and patient care.
Statement of the Problem
Burnout and low job satisfaction among ICU nurses are critical concerns that affect both the well-being of the nurses and the quality of patient care. The high patient-to-nurse ratio, emotional toll of critical care, and inadequate support systems contribute to burnout. Furthermore, poor job satisfaction can lead to higher turnover rates, which impacts the continuity of care in ICUs. Understanding the extent of burnout and job satisfaction among ICU nurses in Bauchi State hospitals will provide insights into strategies that can improve nurse well-being and patient outcomes.
