Emotional exhaustion refers to lack of energy and feeling that one’s emotion is used up to increase psychological demands. Depersonalization refers to treat other as objects rather than people through uncaring attitudes and behaviors. Diminished personal accomplishment is to evaluate oneself negatively because of failure a result it occurs when the individual’s external demands become higher than their coping ability.(Maslach, Schaufeli, leiter., 2001) .

Nursing is the profession that never leaves the patient from admission to discharge. Due to the high emotional and physical demands of the job, burnout or nursing fatigue is prevalent in the profession. Burnout is a well-studied problem; however, there are very little changes done to prevent fatigue in health care. Nursing fatigue is an interplay of individual, organizational and systematic factors that negatively affect not only the health of the nurse but also patient safety. For the purpose of this paper, I will focus on the external challenges in the organizational level that might affect new nurses in their first year of practice such as heavy workload, lack of support and poor leadership style.

Implementing helpful measures can decrease nurse burnout and the affect it has on patient outcomes. For example, PCSN (patient care support nurses) are a useful resource to provide when nursing staff is low. Nurses can also benefit from applying time management measures during their shifts, such as prioritizing and delegating. The impacts of short staffing may be minimal on patient care if these the proper measures are implemented.

On statistical tests to find out the relationship between burnout with the nurse performance in providing nursing care, obtained results demonstrate a strong connection with the negative direction (p =-0747). Thus it can be concluded that the increasing burnout can trigger the declining performance of the nurses. Burnout occur is caused by excess workload resulting from the increase of patients who exceed the capacity and the number of nurses who are not adequate. While on the other hand nurses can work optimally and professionally.

Nurses fatigue is growing problem nurse face each day in the healthcare environment, and he can be caused by long hours, sleep deprivation, and possibly by accepting extra assignments can be dangerous for both nurses and patient. These inadequacies can result in major implications for the health and safety of registered nurses and can compromise patient care which can lead to fatalities. (American Nurses Association, 2014). In my experience, being fatigued from working much 12-hour shifts consecutively was very difficult as I felt extremely tired, resulting in lack of focus, missing important details during the handing over the process with impaired cognitive functioning. This I found was detrimental to the patients and myself as it impedes quality and has a deleterious effect on patient safety.

Furthermore, the MBI measures burnout on a continuum with burnout on one extreme and engagement on the other extreme; and a separate scale has also been developed by other researchers to measure engagement, that is, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Shimazu & Schaufeli, 2008). Nonetheless, for measuring burnout, the MBI remains the standard for most researchers due to its reliability and validity. Reliability refers to the consistency in results every time a scale is used whereas validity is an assessment of the scale measuring what it was intended to measure. The MBI was assessed as reliable and valid in tests for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity and external validity (Maslach & Jackson, 1981). Supporting Maslach's findings, researchers reported that the MBI was used in 93% of scholarly and peer-reviewed articles up to the 90's and continued to be the preferred burnout assessment scale even after the emergence of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Schaufeli et al., 2009).
