The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between burnout and three coping methods (problem-oriented, social support, and avoidance coping strategies) among nurses at Pumwani Maternity Hospital.
The study's methodology was a descriptive cross-sectional design, and it was done from August 2015 to December 2016. In the study, 96 nurses were chosen from a target population of 128 nurses at Pumwani Maternity Hospital. Clustering, purposive, and convenient sampling were among the non-probability sampling approaches used to choose the sample. Maslach Burnout Inventory -Human Services Survey and a coping technique indicator were utilised as self-administered data collecting devices. The data was analysed with SPSS version 21, which included descriptive and inferential statistics.
The bulk of the responders (88.6%) were feeling burnout, according to the findings. Burnout and coping techniques had a moderate connection (R=0.239), indicating that the majority of nurses use problem-solving tactics. The avoidance coping strategy was found to be a major predictor of burnout levels, despite the fact that there was no significant difference in burnout levels amongst the three coping methods. Burnout levels were adversely connected to problem solving and social support, whereas avoidance coping was favourably related to burnout.
Conclusion: Burnout affects the majority of the nurses at Pumwani Maternity Hospital. Problem solving and social support coping techniques were linked to a reduction in burnout, but avoidance coping raised burnout levels. To prevent the occurrence of burnout among nurses working in maternal health care institutions, appropriate coping methods must be used.
