Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the associations between depression and burnout, and blood glucose levels and haemoglobin A1c in nurses and non-nurses, using psychometric and metabolic assessment. Nurses experienced a significantly higher level of burnout than non-nurses (p < 0.05), as measured by the Emotional Exhaustion scale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, as well as a significantly lower level of burnout than non-nurses as measured by the Personal Accomplishment subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (p < 0.01).
