Analysis and comparison between frequency and depth of job-burnout aspects among male and female nurses

In this study we analyzed job burnout aspects of male and female nurses. Sixty nurses (including 32 women and 28 men) were randomly selected and responded to Maslach (MBI) job questionnaire. Our findings demonstrate that there is significant difference between male and female nurses in emotional exhaustion (p<0.021). Women experience emotional exhaustion more than men. Regarding other aspects of job burnout there is no significant difference between them. The findings of this study demonstrate that job burnout is high among nursing society. However, to avoid job burnout among nurses should be paid attention to them.
