dc.description.abstractThe study aimed to identify occupational stressors and measure experiences of clinical burn-out among a group of mental health nurses and occupational therapists in a medium secure service. All the nursing staff (n=115) and occupational therapists (n=9) on three wards in a medium secure hospital were asked to partake in the study, and to complete a modified version of the Psychiatric Nurse Occupational Stress Scale (PNOSS), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a demographic questionnaire designed for the study. Results from the PNOSS revealed that organisational issues elicited the greatest stress and were most strongly related to high burn-out scores, identified by the MBI. Limited resource and staff conflict were also associated with stress and burn-out. Patient care had a relatively small impact. MBI findings were that a substantial proportion (54%) were experiencing high burn-out in relation to emotional exhaustion.
