Burnout outcomes

Alves and Guirardello [27]

Higher EE associated with the outcome of a worse patient safety climate

Aytekin et al. [29]

Higher burnout and PTSD were found in nurses considering a change of career, more frequently screened positive for anxiety and depression, were more likely to respond negatively regarding their team members, teamwork, and impact of their work

A large portion of nurses with both burnout and significant PTSD symptoms found their symptoms interfered with their work and personal lives

Dos Santos Alves et al. [39]

267

Lower burnout associated with the outcome of positive assessments of the safety climate

Günüşen et al. [48]

117

Secondary traumatic stress (STS) predicted 17% of EE

STS predicted 28% of DP

STS did not predict PA significantly

Latimer et al. [58]

27

Higher burnout associated with nurses with higher secondary trauma

Li et al. [60]

251

Higher likelihood of burnout with higher levels of PTSD

Burnout development secondary to PTSD symptoms may be mitigated by group cohesion

Lin et al. [63]

144

Higher burnout associated with the outcome of statistically significant influence on depression levels

Meadors et al. [66]

23

Higher burnout associated with the outcome of higher levels of compassion fatigue

Meyer et al. [16]

251

Higher burnout predicated by compassion fatigue after controlling for pre-existing stress exposure

Higher burnout predicated by current stress exposure after controlling for pre-existing stress exposure

Mediated association: current stress exposure predicted higher levels of compassion fatigue which then predicted higher levels of burnout after 3 months of bedside

Exposure

Morrison Wylde et al. [70]

95

Higher burnout associated with PTSD symptoms and compassion fatigue

Moussa and Mahmood [71]

55

Increased PA associated with the outcome of an increase in the mother’s satisfaction with meeting the child’s needs and expectations
