Nurses are particularly susceptible to burnout due to several factors:
Workload: Nurses often work long hours, including night shifts, which can be physically and emotionally draining. Emotional Stress: Constant exposure to patient suffering, critical situations, and death can take a toll on mental health. Staffing Shortages: Insufficient staffing levels lead to increased responsibilities and pressure on existing staff. Lack of Support: Inadequate support from administration and coworkers can exacerbate feelings of isolation and stress.
