The statistical population of the study was 230 nurses working in Khorramabad Shohadaye Ashayer Hospital, Iran. Based on Krejcie and Morgan table, a sample size of 140 people were selected by stratified random sampling method. To measure the variables of the research, a questionnaire was used which included three sections of Coronavirus Stress, Job burnout and psychological capital. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha method and its validity was confirmed using convergent validity. For data analysis, structural equation modeling and SPSS and PLS software were used.
Results: The results showed that at the 95% confidence level, Coronavirus Stress has a positive and significant effect on nurses' Job burnout and psychological capital has a moderating role in relation to Coronavirus Stress and Job burnout.
Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be said that Coronavirus Stress has a significant role in increasing nurses' Job burnout, and in the meantime, nurses with stronger psychological capital suffer less burnout than nurses with weaker psychological capital.
