Outline of Final Research Achievements

To begin, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 98 clinical nurses in mainland and remote islands of Kagoshima Prefecture to investigate resilience and related factors that may affect the onset of burnout. The study results showed that the incidence of burnout was 19.6% on the mainland and 36.1% on remote islands. The study conducted one-way analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis with burnout as the dependent variable and adjusted for related factors. The results showed that innate resilience and support from older peers in the workplace were negatively associated with burnout.
In the intervention, the longitudinal change in burnout was shown to be significantly negatively associated with both the longitudinal change in workplace social support and the interaction with intervention between the longitudinal change in acquired resilience factors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

職場のソーシャルサポートの縦断変化とバーンアウトの縦断変化は負の関連にあり、離島と本土の看護師で共通していた。更に、看護を語る介入と獲得的レジリエンス要因の縦断変化との交互作用は本土と離島の看護師に共通し、バーンアウトを低減する可能性があった。これら両知見はそれぞれ新規性があり、学術的意義があると考えられる。社会的意義について、介入としての看護を語る会の実施は、臨床看護師のバーンアウト予防に寄与する可能性が示唆された。
