Magister Curationis - Mcur / Research studies allude to the escalation of work related stress, which leads to
burnout among mental health nurses, internationally. Mental health nursing is stressful because
it is a helping profession that involves close interpersonal working relationships and the burden
of providing nursing care to mental health care users (MHCUs) with complex emotional
demands. These stressful working conditions render mental health nurses susceptible to
burnout. Globally, health care services share a concern about the effects of burnout on nurses.
Although burnout is a personal experience for the nurses, the results impact negatively on the
quality of care delivered to MHCUs, while increasing the cost of care of the hospitals, which
employ these mental health nurses.
