Abstract

PurposePreventing burnout and promoting psychological well-being in nurses are of great importance. In this study the effect of an online, stand-alone individualized preventive program for nurse burnout based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is described and explained.Design/methodology/approachA mixed method study with an explanatory sequential design was applied. Quantitative data were collected from September 2015 to March 2016 during an intervention study with a pretest-posttest wait-list control group design within a population of hospital nurses in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Consecutively, 13 nurses from the intervention group who fully completed the program were interviewed.FindingsAll interviewed participants experienced some sort of effect due to working with the program. Emotional exhaustion remained stable in the intervention group and increased in the control group. However, this difference was not significant. Personal accomplishment decreased significantly within the intervention group when compared to the control group. This might be explained by the self-awareness that was created through the program, which confronted participants with their weaknesses and problems.Originality/valueThis study adds to the understanding of online individual burnout prevention. The results suggest the feasibility of an online program to prevent nurse burnout. This could be optimized by complementing it with organizational interventions, introducing refresher courses, reminders and follow-up. Furthermore, additional attention should be devoted to preparing the implementation in order to minimize attrition rates.

在线个性化计划预防护士倦怠的效果——一项混合方法研究

目的预防护士职业倦怠，促进护士心理健康具有重要意义。在本研究中，描述并解释了基于认知行为疗法（CBT）的在线、独立的护士倦怠个性化预防计划的效果。设计/方法/方法采用解释性顺序设计的混合方法研究。2015年9月至2016年3月，在一项干预研究中收集了定量数据，该研究采用了比利时荷兰语区医院护士群体中的前测后测等待名单对照组设计。连续采访了来自完全完成该项目的干预组的13名护士。发现所有受访的参与者都因参与该项目而经历了某种影响。情绪衰竭在干预组中保持稳定，在对照组中增加。然而，这种差异并不显著。与对照组相比，干预组的个人成就感显著下降。这可以通过该项目产生的自我意识来解释，该项目让参与者直面自己的弱点和问题。原创性/价值本研究增加了对在线个人倦怠预防的理解。研究结果表明，建立一个预防护士倦怠的在线程序是可行的。这可以通过组织干预措施加以补充、开设进修课程、提醒和后续行动来优化。此外，应进一步注意执行工作的准备工作，以尽量减少自然减员率。
