Description
A study has shown that burnout is a significant problem in the modern working life which has considerably increased in prevalence over the last ten years (De la Fuente et al., 2015). In today’s society, nurses have been on the frontlines dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic for 2 years. How can the U.S. help our nurses to succeed in the healthcare field and be able to adequately provide help regarding the issue that has been here for a while? In our research paper, we will focus on the factors that lead to burnout, how burnout affects patient care, the mental health of nurses, and how organizations can improve their methods in dealing with this problem.
