OBJECTIVE: Burnout among correctional nurses is a growing concern, with 50% to 62% reporting symptoms and intent to leave their positions. This occupational phenomenon, marked by emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion, stems from chronic workplace stress and is exacerbated in correctional environments due to overcrowding, perceived threats of violence, and limited autonomy. This study aimed to assess environmental contributors to burnout among nurses located in a southeastern U.S. county correctional facility.
METHODS: Using a cross-sectional design and the Maslach Burnout Inventory paired with the Areas of Work life Survey, the study evaluated six domains of workplace stressors.
RESULTS: Of 22 eligible participants, 45% completed the survey. Contrary to prior findings, nurses reported feeling safe and having adequate time to complete tasks. However, low scores in workplace relationships, recognition, and fairness suggest systemic issues. These findings highlight the need for leadership training, improved reward systems, and policy reforms to foster healthier work environments.
CONCLUSION: Addressing organizational culture is critical to improving nurse well-being, retention, and patient outcomes. This study contributes to the limited literature on correctional nurse burnout and underscores the importance of targeted interventions to reduce stress and enhance job satisfaction in secure care settings.
