Abstract
Objectives: Healthcare staff, due to the nature of their job, are exposed to various occupational hazards, including ergonomic stressors, which can affect their health and lead to job burnout. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ergonomic intervention on job burnout and resilience among employed nurses.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted with 70 nurses employed at Shohada Lordegan Hospital in Lordegan, Iran, between 2018 and 2019. The study units were randomly assigned by block randomization into two groups: an intervention group and a control group. The ergonomic intervention consisted of four stages (education, work modification, a regular exercise program with supervision, support, and follow-up) applied to the intervention group. The control group received no intervention. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The mean scores before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention were compared using SPSS (version 23) with an independent t-test, chi-square, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results: There was no significant difference in the mean job burnout score between the two groups before the intervention (p > 0.05). However, after the intervention, this difference became significant, with the intervention group showing less job burnout and greater resilience compared to the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that implementing ergonomic interventions among nurses can increase resilience and reduce job burnout. Given the effectiveness of the intervention, it is recommended that ergonomic training programs be included in nursing educational curricula.
