The Relationship Between Organizational Stress and Burnout Risk Among Nurses in the Inpatient Ward of Paru Hospital, Jember

Abstract

Introduction: Burnout is a condition of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that occurs due to prolonged exposure to work stress, particularly in professions with intensive service demands such as nursing. Organizational stress is one of the factors that can potentially trigger burnout through high workloads, role ambiguity, interpersonal conflict, and resource limitations. This study aims to analyze the relationship between organizational stress and the risk of burnout in nurses in the inpatient ward of Paru Hospital, Jember.

Method: This research used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total sample of 42 nurses was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05.

Result: The findings showed that most respondents were female (59.5%), aged 36–45 years (61.9%), had a D3 diploma education (54.8%), and had a work tenure of 1–10 years (81%). The highest level of organizational stress was in the moderate category (73.8%), while burnout was also most prevalent in the moderate category (59.7%). The bivariate analysis obtained a p-value of 0.647 with a correlation coefficient of -0.073, indicating no significant relationship between organizational stress and burnout.

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that organizational stress is not significantly associated with the risk of burnout among nurses in the inpatient ward of Paru Hospital, Jember. Other factors beyond organizational stress may contribute more substantially to the occurrence of burnout, so further research is needed to explore these aspects.
