ABSTRACT
Burnout syndrome has been defined as a state of chronic stress characterized by high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization with low levels of professional efficacy. The effects of nurse burnout include poor job satisfaction and turnover. Nurses' physical and mental well-being are both essential to sustaining a healthy nursing workforce with factors such as an empowering work environment showing positive effects on reducing burnout. Formal and informal individual and organizational approaches to supporting novice nurses' transition and experienced nurses' sustained practice fulfillment are key to addressing burnout and fostering retention.
