Abstract
Introduction: this study aimed to determine the factors that predict the incidence of burnout in nurses who work at the Public Hospital of Tangerang
Regency in Banten, Indonesia. Methods: a cross-sectional design was used in this study. Participants were selected from eight inpatient wards at
the Public Hospital of Tangerang Regency (hereinafter termed the hospital) by using a proportionate stratified random sampling method. A total of
133 nurses working in the inpatient wards were recruited. Data were collected using a questionnaire on nursing work schedule setting policy, daily
log questionnaire for workload, competency scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale for nurse burnout. Stepwise multiple linear regression
was used to analyze the data. Results: for most respondents (54.1%), the nursing work scheduling policy was appropriate, whereas the average
score of nurse workload was 80.42 with SD ± 0.49, and the competency of most nurses was appropriate (64.7%). The average score of nurse
burnout was 17.48 with an SD ± 0.50. Work schedule policy and workload were significant burnout predictors, accounting for 87.2% of the variance
(Adjusted R2=0.872) in burnout among nurses who worked in the hospital's inpatient wards. Conclusion: nursing work schedule setting policy and
workload were the main factors that led to burnout in nurses working in the inpatient wards. This issue can be overcome by regulating the workload
in a balanced manner and applying appropriate policy in the nurse work schedule.
