Effect Covid-19: Burnout on nurse

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on burnout experienced by nurses at Dr. Hospital. Wahidin Sudirohusodo as one of the special hospitals that treat patients affected by Covid-19. This research is a qualitative study using some literature from related articles and journals as well as the results of a discussion group forum (FGD) from nurses at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. The results showed that there was a burnout in nurses when they saw so many patients who were under observation or who were positively affected by the outbreak of this virus. Nurses are confronted with thoughts of high-risk work amid pandemic conditions and think of families who are at home as well as conditions where nurses want to go home but workloads are very high and worry about returning home in conditions carrying viruses that are invisible. Limitations of this study are the lack of access to communicate with nurses who maintain contact with researchers at the time to prevent the spread of the virus.
