IMPACT OF WORKPLACE CLIMATE ON BURNOUT AMONG CRITICAL CARE NURSES IN THE VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

摘要

Critical care nurses are at especially high risk for burnout. Previous studies of burnout have used survey methods that simultaneously measure risk factors and outcomes of burnout, potentially introducing common method bias.
