Effect of Burnout on Nurses's Performance: A Scoping Review Protocol
Abstract
Background: Burnout is a syndrome consisting of emotional and physical exhaustion, insensitive attitude toward others, as well as loss of sense of achievement. Globally, the prevalence of burnout is higher among those working in people-oriented services such as healthcare services. Burnout is also strongly associated with work-related stress. Studies have shown that burnout affects the nurses' work performance and subsequently patient care. Hence, the purpose of this scoping review is to synthesise and map the literature pertaining to the effects of burnout on nurses' performance.
Methodology: A scoping review using the six stages of the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) will be conducted. A literature search on four databases including CINAHL, PUBMED, EBSCO, and PsyINFO will be done from 1 Jan 2009 to 30 June 2020. All literature will be selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data will be extracted using a tool developed by the research team. The findings will be categorised into themes and analysed using thematic analysis.
Discussion: This scoping review will synthesise vital evidence about the effects of burnout on nurses' performance. The findings will hopefully guide in the planning and implementation of appropriate interventions, strategies, and future research in reducing burnout among healthcare workers.
