“We are exhausted, but we just love it”: A qualitative study exploring burnout and work engagement among advanced practice cancer nurses in Australia

The work environment of advanced practice cancer nurses largely contributes to their experiences of burnout and work engagement. Advanced practice cancer nurses are highly engaged with their work despite experiencing exhaustion. The experience of burnout and work engagement is a result of the dynamic interplay of multiple factors structured across individual, role-related, and organisational layers within a complex work environment.

Abstract

The work environment of advanced practice cancer nurses largely contributes to their experiences of burnout and work engagement. Advanced practice cancer nurses are highly engaged with their work despite experiencing exhaustion. The experience of burnout and work engagement is a result of the dynamic interplay of multiple factors structured across individual, role-related, and organisational layers within a complex work environment.
