“It’s hard to keep giving emotionally when you’re so tired”: a qualitative study of burnout among nurses in the haemodialysis unit of a teaching hospital in Ghana
The phenomenon of burnout is a serious occupational health challenge among nurses in dialysis units in resource-constrained settings like Ghana. The findings emphasise the need for increased job resources rather than individual coping mechanisms to effectively deal with the negative impact of burnout on nurses in the dialysis unit.
