Learning Objective 1: There are many reports that nurse of the 3 years nursing clinical experience has the high score of burnout.
Learning Objective 2: The learner will be able to learn the intervention method of a more effective nurse's burnout.
[Methods]: Nurses (N=30) who worked at acute-care hospitals and whose clinical experience was 3years were requested. Nurses (n=18, male 1, female 17) who were able to do participation at all the sessions were objects. The program included three60-minute sessions, separated by 1 week. The program was created and carried out for a nurse's burnout with reference to the workbook of Ono (2003). Evaluation of intervention were asked to complete a questionnaire that measured burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory:MBI), job stressors (Nursing Job Stressor Scale:NJSS), automatic thoughts (the shorter version of Japanese version Automatic Thoughts Questionnare-Revised: ATQ-R), Irrational Belief Test for Nurses (IBTN), coping measure and whether or not they had an intention to resign. Measurement was performed 3 times of a baseline, after the end of session and follow-up. One-way analysis of variance was performed.
[Result]: The significant difference was affirmed between a baseline and follow-up of "helplessness" (p< 0.10) of an irrational belief, "emotional exhaustion" (p< 0.10) of burnout, "wanted to quit working as a nurse" of intention to resign (p< 0.05) However, there was no significant difference at other subscales. That is, it was suggested to decrease of a nurse's burnout or intention to resign that cognitive behavioral approach is effective. Moreover, the effect can consider a possibility of having been brought by the change of the "helplessness" of an irrational belief.
[Conclusion]:It was suggested that cognitive behavioral approach appears to be effective for reducing nurse's burnout or intention to resign in nurses of the 3 years nursing clinical experience.
