Evidence-based practice is a method of problem resolution in treating patients, using evidence from trustworthy sources, the nurse’s experience, and patient preferences to provide the best health care. Today the concentration of nurses in hospitals worldwide is growing due to a decrease in the lifespan to limit increased expenses, which in turn increases nurses’ workload, predisposes them to adverse health outcomes, and is likely to affect their productivity and quality care. Burnout from the infirm is a frequent problem defined by a loss of nursing energy, leading to a drop in labor efficiency and emotional weariness, and lack of enthusiasm (Mudallal et al., 2017). Nursing workers are typically regarded as a high-risk category concerning occupational stress; nevertheless, healthcare is a varied field. The research points out significant variations in the work of various nursing classes, such as nurses for general health and well-being.
For several reasons, nursing burnout is crucial to be understood. Caregivers and nursing leaders need to look at these aspects in order to recognize when adjustments are needed. First, thousands of nurses feel dissatisfied and disconnected from their job, damaging their psychological health and well-being. Nurse burnout also has severe detrimental effects on patients. In emergency nurses, the frequency of burnout syndrome is significant (Gómez-Urquiza et al., 2017). Patients are less happy with their treatment and are worse off if their nurses are burned out. Burned-out nurses might overlook health changes, can move slowly and cannot be there during a crisis, can be distracted from their duties, and more. All their emotional and physical wellness and the physical health of others are endangered when nurses are burnt out.
