The Correlation Between Stress of Conscience and Burnout Among Health Care Personnel at an Acute Care Hospital in Southern Sweden: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Stress of conscience is positively correlated with burnout among healthcare professionals. Shift workers were more likely to experience burnout, and HCP living alone reported higher levels of stress of conscience. These findings highlight the combined impact of personal and organisational factors, underscoring the need for interventions that address both domains to reduce burnout and support workforce wellbeing.

Abstract

Stress of conscience is positively correlated with burnout among healthcare professionals. Shift workers were more likely to experience burnout, and HCP living alone reported higher levels of stress of conscience. These findings highlight the combined impact of personal and organisational factors, underscoring the need for interventions that address both domains to reduce burnout and support workforce wellbeing.
