Examining the Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and Burnout Among Nurses

One call to action is to further coordinate research to develop tools assessing nurses on a regular basis. In communities where drinking is known to be high, misuse among health professionals should be viewed as an occupational hazard. To support nurses, we must continue to examine predictors of substance misuse at regular intervals in the work environment. Inclusive research examining and analyzing the use of alcohol by ethnicity, gender, age, and community setting is important in developing culturally appropriate interventions.
