The Correlation Between Burnout Syndrome and Performance Among Female Nurses

Abstract

Burnout syndrome is a psychological condition due to chronic work stress that can have an impact on the decline in the performance of nurses, especially female nurses who often face work demands and domestic roles at the same time. Empirical evidence on the relationship between burnout syndrome and nurse performance still varies, particularly when analyzed before and after interventions. This study aims to analyze the correlation of burnout syndrome to the performance of female nurses at the Regency Hospital in the control group and treatment group in the pretest and posttest phases. Methode: This research method uses a correlational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample number was 66 female nurses who worked in the inpatient room of the Ciamis Regency Hospital and met the research inclusion criteria. The variables studied included burnout syndrome and nurse performance, which were measured using standardized instruments. Data analysis was conducted using a correlation test to determine the relationship between burnout syndrome and the performance of female nurses, with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results In the pretest data, the correlation test showed that there was no relationship between burnout syndrome and nurse performance in both the control group and the treatment group (p>0.05). In the posttest data, no relationship was found in the control group (p>0.05). However, in the treatment group, there was a significant relationship between burnout syndrome and nurse performance (p=0.049<0.05). The direction of the relationship is negative, indicating that the higher the burnout syndrome, the lower the performance, and the lower the burnout syndrome, the higher the performance. Conclusions: Burnout syndrome was significantly and negatively related to the performance of female nurses in the treatment group after the intervention. These findings indicate the importance of burnout reduction interventions as a strategy to support the improvement of nurse performance in hospitals.
