Understanding and Managing Nurse Burnout

Burnout among nurses has been present for many years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout was intensified by extremely stressful work environments, the emotional strain associated with witnessing increased mortality of patients, continual stress of working long hours in understaffed units, the physical strain of constantly wearing personal protective equipment, and having limited opportunities for rest and recovery between shifts. This supplement issue of Nursing Clinics of North America consists of 11 articles that discuss various aspects of burnout in the nursing workforce.
