Özet
Objectives: Nurses are exposed to a variety of factors that can create emotional challenges and increase the risk of burnout. This study was designed to examine the relationship between emotional reactivity and burnout among clin- ical nurses. Methods: This correlational and cross-sectional study was conducted at a university hospital. The sample consisted of 199 nurses. The data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, the Emotion Reactivity Scale (ERS), and the Burnout Measure-Short Form (BM-SF). Results: The study participants had a mean BM-SF and ERS score of 35.85±11.42 and 41.78±8.50, respectively. They had a mean ERS emotional sensitivity, emotional intensity, and emotional persistence subscale score of 13.94±3.45, 11.46±2.54, and 16.36±3.71, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the BM-SF and ERS scores (p<0.001). Conclusion: Clinical nurses often experience conditions that can trigger emotional reactivity and individuals who dis- play greater emotional reactivity tend to have a higher degree of burnout. It is important that institutions and govern- ing bodies provide nurses with training related to emotion recognition and expression to help them develop coping skills and psychological resilience.
