Abstract
Session presented on Saturday, April 9, 2016, and Friday, April 8, 2016: Problem: Burnout has been shown to be problematic for those who care for patients with mental illness. Studies have shown that between 21 to 67 % of mental health providers have indicated high levels of burnout. It is important for mental health professionals to understand the symptoms associated with burnout; however, few studies have addressed primary mental health provider burnout. Little is known with regard to factors that influence Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) burnout. This study utilizes a casual comparative design to examine group differences in burnout between 50 PMHNPs working in acute/inpatient and 50 PMHNs working in outpatient behavioral health. A database of Nurse Practitioners will be implemented to locate participants to complete an anonymous, one time online self-report survey comprised of several questionnaires. Analyses include descriptive statistics, Independent sample t-tests to identify and compare differences in the levels of burnout and components of burnout amongst two groups of PMHNPS those working in acute and PMHNPs working in non-acute settings.
