Description
Summary:The prevalence of burnout in nurses has been reported between 25% and 60% in different countries. The result of this is irreparable damage to the professional and family role of nurses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a spiritual health plan on the burnout of nurses. This single-blinded, pre-test/post-test, experimental study was performed on Jahrom's hospital nurses (south of Iran), who suffered from moderate to high levels of burnout in 2020. Forty nurses were randomly selected and assigned to the intervention and control groups. The experimental group received seven sessions of education and training on spiritual health plans. The control group did not attend any training sessions. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire and analysed by SPSS software 21. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the three dimensions of MBI between the groups (P > 0.05). Also in the control group, there was no significant difference in the three dimensions of MBI pre-and post-intervention (P > 0.05). The results revealed a significant difference between the control and intervention groups in the three dimensions of MBI after the intervention (Emotional exhaustion (P = 0.001), Depersonalization (P = 0.043), Personal accomplishment (P = 0.015)). In addition, significant differences were observed in the three dimensions of MBI in the intervention group pre- and post-intervention (P < 0.05). A spiritual health plan can reduce burnout among the nurses in the three dimensions including depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and personal performance.
