| Summary: | Background: Critical care nurses are often confronted by traumatic events due to the nature of their work, which can affect the delivery of care that they provide to patients, as well as negatively impacting the nursing profession. Also, critical care nurses who had developed resiliency skills tends to cope with the stressors in the work environment through their development of good working relationships, which has shown to enhance work dynamics and patient safety, resulting in nurse work satisfaction. Purpose: To determine the relationship between nurse burnout and resilience, with specific emphasis on critical care nurses. To identify probable causes and interventions for both nurses and organizations for addressing burnout to support nurses in the critical care work environments. Methods: The scoping review was completed using PRISMA guidelines and Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework. Searches from ERIC, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and grey literature (google scholar) were accessed to identify relevant studies; eleven articles met the inclusion criteria and were used for data analysis. Results: Burnout has been identified as one of the major challenges that nurses in critical care may understandably encounter, as they work in a high stress work environment with critically ill patients who require specialized nursing care. Excessive workload, poor staffing ratios, and overtime shifts are some of the factors that have been identified in the literature as contributing to negative workplace conditions. Conclusion: The findings in this study showed the relationship between burnout and resiliency among nurses in critical care settings, in which resiliency was noted as a buffer for the effects of burnout. |
