In order to find a solution to nurse burnout, it must first be identified. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is the gold-standard instrument used to assess burnout, and its reliability and validity have been well documented.

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).
