  • Purpose

  • Methods
    Participants selected for the final analysis were 208 nurses working in 2 general hospitals in Busan and Masan. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and Hierarchial Multiple Regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0.

The explained variance for burnout was 61% and compassion satisfaction was the most significant factor in burnout of nurses.
