Abstract：Objective To explore the current status of burnout and its influencing factors among nurses in regional comprehensive hospitals,thus providing a reference for improving mental health and career development in nurses.Methods A convenient sampling method was used to select 379 nursing staff from a regional hospital in Shanghai as the research subjects.Through the Wenjuanxing platform,a survey was conducted covering demographic characteristics,the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey(MBI-HSS),the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),and the Insomnia Severity Index(ISI).Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were applied to explore the burnout rate and its influencing factors among nurses in regional hospitals.Results Among the 379 nursing staff,there were 356 females(93.93%)and23 males(6.07%).The proportion of nurses with high emotional exhaustion,high depersonalization,low personal accomplishment,high burnout risk,and burnout syndrome was 27.97%,26.65%,67.55%,35.09%,and 17.68%,respectively.The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that:caring for 11-15 patients per day,caring for 16-20 patients per day,and anxiety level were common influencing factors for high burnout risk and burnout syndrome(P<0.05).Only-child,caring for≤5 patients per day,and insomnia severity were influencing factors for high burnout risk(P<0.05).Insufficient allocation of various support resources and few promotion opportunities were influencing factors for burnout syndrome in nurses(P<0.05).Conclusion The rate of high burnout among nurses in regional comprehensive hospitals is at a moderate level.Medical institutions should attach importance to this issue and take corresponding measures to improve nurses'work and living conditions,so as to enhance their physical and mental health and job satisfaction.
