About This Grant
What Interventions to Reduce Hospital Nurse Burnout Are Most Effective? Nurse burnout is a threat to healthcare safety, and to nurse and patient outcomes. Burnout among nurses has been a long-standing concern only accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout is a syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress and characterized by feelings of emotional exhaustion, cynicism towards one’s work, and decreased professional efficacy. Pre-pandemic, about 30% of nurses were burned out. Today, nearly half of 4.7 million nurses are experiencing burnout. This unsustainable high level of burnout has dire consequences for nurses and patients alike. Nurse burnout is associated with higher odds of patient mortality, failure to rescue, and prolonged length of stay, as well as nurse job dissatisfaction and turnover. We propose to integrate two approaches to addressing burnout: investigation of organizational characteristics as determinants of burnout, notably conducted by the proposed research team in recent decades, and health system administrators’ current implementation of interventions to reduce nurse burnout. Our preliminary studies reveal that organizational and individual interventions are being implemented nationwide and that nurses prefer organizational ones. It is unknown how preferred and implemented interventions relate to hospitals’ performance on nurse burnout, individual nurse burnout, and reducing burnout over time. Crucially, whether these interventions’ effectiveness depends on the work environment is unknown. Integration of these two approaches will yield a representation of reality across a large, geographically diverse hospital sample to inform whether certain intervention combinations are most effective and in what organizational contexts. The proposed aims address the Notice of Special Interest NOT-NR-23-012, “Addressing Organizational Factors to Prevent or Mitigate Nurse Burnout,” which invites “research studies to develop and evaluate novel organizational interventions to prevent and mitigate nurse burnout,” by identifying the currently preferred and implemented interventions, their work environment contexts, and their relation to nurse burnout, dissatisfaction, and intent to leave and hospital performance on nurse burnout. We propose to conduct a cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study utilizing 2024 and 2026 hospital nurse survey data from 31,942 nurses in 1,278 hospitals (in 2024) in 10 U.S. states to determine how preferred and implemented interventions relate to hospitals’ performance on nurse burnout, individual nurse burnout, and reducing burnout over time. The potential impact of the proposed study would be high because it would provide actionable results to optimize burnout intervention choices and contexts to mitigate pervasive nurse burnout.
