The Frequency Of Nurse Reported Stress And Its Relationship To The Physical Attributes Of Various Nursing Units, Richard Michael Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The nursing profession has a high attrition rate with respect to its work force. A 1977 study conducted by the United States Department of Labor estimated that twenty-seven percent of the total nurse population was neither employed nor looking for work. Holding this percentage constant for the 1980 statistics, there are approximately 400,000 additional registered nurses who are not working today. White asserts that "burnout" is the primary factor responsible for the attrition rate among professional nurses. Burnout is defined by Lavendero as the ineffective ability to cope with stress in the work environment. He argues that conclusive evidence concerning …
