INTRODUCTION: The Syria war increased the number of injured and wounded victims, which in turn increased the workload on the nursing staff. Experiencing frequent psychological exhaustion may increase nurses’ burnout, which negatively affects their performance, production, patient output, and job satisfaction.
METHODS: Our study utilized a descriptive correlational research design. A convenience sample of 60 nurses from three hospitals was utilized in the study.
RESULTS: The findings from this study showed a significant negative relationship between burnout and job satisfaction.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The study considers the number of nurses in relation to the number of patients and provides respitetype care for nurses who reach significant emotional exhaustion.
