Abstract

Fatigue Nurses Nursing administration Work ethic Burnout
Burnout is a physiological syndrome characterized by physical, emotional, or mental exhaustion preceded by a numbing or lack of awareness of stress-related symptoms, which frequently occurs in those with unrealistic high aspirations. Comparing two nurses' attitude towards their work, Donnelly claims that it is incumbent on nurse colleagues and managers to protect those nurses who are always sparring with their inner voice to do more, and to ask more of those nurses who have well-developed repertoires for avoiding work.
