Abstract

Psychiatric registered nurses experience unique workplace stressors. Yet, little is known about job burnout in this population. The proposed research addresses this gap in knowledge by testing a model examining the impact of structurally empowering work environments on job burnout and subsequent patient care quality among psychiatric registered nurses.

The proposed research addresses this gap in knowledge by testing a model examining the impact of structurally empowering work environments on job burnout and subsequent patient care quality among psychiatric registered nurses.
