How to Protect This Vital Workforce
Introduction
The burnout syndrome is prevalent in every workforce particularly in the healthcare industry.
Burnout syndrome is characterized by a state of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low levels of personal accomplishment that is experienced in the workplace (Lopez-Lopez, et al, 2019).
Burnout among nurses are commonly a result of imbalanced workload, lack of work-life balance and other stressors (Edwards, et al, 2000).
In particular, mental health nurses experience unique prevalence of burnout as compared to other healthcare nurses and staff.
In the healthcare industry, burnout and stress are among the most common state being experienced by staff and professionals. Apparently, the healthcare industry is one of the most highly dynamic and complex environments. Thus, the healthcare workforces, especially the nurses, are among the most vulnerable to burnout and stress. According to Lopez-Lopez, et al (2019), differences in areas of healthcare is a significant factor in the development of burnout. In particular, the mental health sector cares for patients with psychiatric behaviors which makes mental health nurses more prevalent to burnout.

Objectives/ Purpose of Presentation
As already introduced, mental health nurses are vital to the effectiveness of the provision of mental health services. Since we all agree on this conceptualization, this presentation aims to address three objectives – (read the objectives). By the end of this presentation, it is expected that students understand the prevalence of burnout in the healthcare setting and be able to determine initiatives to protect the health and wellbeing of this vital workforce.

Relevance to Contemporary Mental Health Nursing
Burnout is one of the most researched mental health problem in the modern world (Heinemann & Heinemann, 2017).
Burnout is one of the impacts of stress and professional challenges among mental health nurses in the contemporary era particularly since the emergence of globalization leading to significant shifts in mental health sector (Foster, et al, 2019).
The prevalence of burnout among mental health nurses has increased over the past decade due to the build-up of a highly stressful environment in the mental health sector (Sadiku, 2016).
It is important for mental health management to include relevant coping strategies and interventions to address burnout taking into consideration current trends in the labour market and changes in behaviors of mental health nurses (McTiernan, et al, 2014).
The mental health sector has undergone significant changes over the last few decades. Prior to the emergence of globalization, the conventional manner of working in organizations enable employees to still achieve work-life balance because thereby causing fewer stress and burnout. Yet, the level of burnout, not just among mental health nurses but to all employees, has increased significantly in the contemporary era. Therefore, studies regarding burnout in workforces became more relevant particularly in contemporary mental health nursing. Significant shifts in the mental health sector are continuous which means that it is important for mental health management to include relevant coping strategies to address burnout taking into consideration current trends in the labour market and changes in behaviors of mental health nurses.

Relevance to Clinical Interventions in Practice
Understanding the factors that lead to burnout among nurses can contribute to the development of effective clinical interventions in practice.
In today’s modern world, burnout among nurses is highly prevalent because of continuous exposure to work stress environment resulting from poor working conditions and prolonged stress (de Oliveira, et al, 2019).
Similarly, Pijpker, et al (2020) suggested that elimination of stressors can enable workplace health promotion practitioners to dealing with burnout among employees in the healthcare setting.
Having a better understanding on burnout in mental health nurses and how to protect this vital workforce is significantly useful in promoting interventions in clinical practice particularly in the modern world. There are a number of studies in literature connected to promoting effective clinical interventions in practice but there are still gaps that need to be filled. Findings from this study can contribute to adding to empirical knowledge towards obtaining satisfactory improvements in dealing with burnout in nurses through new interventions in mental health practice.
5
Relevance to Professional Practice
The findings from this study can be useful in the development of new interventions that are more applicable in the current situation within the environment of professional practice.
Lorenz & Guirardello’s (2014) study found that burnout is correlated by different variables in professional practice such as job satisfaction, quality of work performance, work attitudes and intent to quit jobs.
Burnout is caused by work-related stress among nurses and is associated with psychiatric symptoms that lead to changes in professional attitudes and behaviors (Karanikola & Papathanassoglou, 2013).
Burnout is a topic that is relevant to professional practice in several fields, not just in nursing. As such, there is significant relevance between this research and related studies about burnout and stress in the professional practice. Despite the burnout syndrome being mostly associated with the nursing profession, it is still considered as an important health problem in different professional fields such as in leadership profession. The findings from this study can be found relevant in contributing to added knowledge on how professionals can use their education on how to apply their knowledge of burnout in their work and training on job engagement.

Relevance to Reflectiveness in Practice
Nurses have sufficient knowledge and the right perception but there is still high prevalence of burnout (Nabadda, 2012).
Menezes, et al (2017) noted that exposure to or potential risk of burnout syndrome can limit professional effectiveness and learning through experience.
Research regarding burnout is abundant but relevance to burnout prevention programmes is lacking (Alenezi, et al, 2019).
This study also has significant relevance to reflectiveness in practice. This means that the findings from this study can raise reflections with regards to the impact of burnout syndrome to mental health nurses thereby allowing for the creation of appropriate clinical interventions in alignment with differences in behavior and characteristics. This study can aid in raising awareness about dealing with burnout syndrome effectively particularly in mental health practice.
7
Relevance to Broader Education in Practice
Nurse leaders play an important role in addressing burnout syndrome among nurses as well as in improving work conditions and motivating nurses (Mudallal, et al, 2017).
Volpe, et al (2014) noted that established literatures show the high risk to develop burnout among mental health professionals.
There is a need to broaden studies about burnout in order to add to new knowledge and evidence to be fitting in today’s time.
There are still a number of areas that can be explored with relation to understanding the burnout syndrome. This topic has relevance to several fields that can be researched further towards advancing learning and developing new ideas and concepts about the subject that may be more relevant in today’s time. One of the areas that can be explored in the future is the influence of leader empowering behaviors in reducing burnout. Another area that can further be explored is the risk of burnout among early career mental health professionals. There are several other areas that can be explored relating to burnout towards promoting broader education in practice.

Relevance to Mental Health Promotion in Practice
“Semantics provide opportunities for improved precision in depicting what is ‘intervention’ and what is ‘implementation’ in health care research” (Eldh, et al, 2017).
Current and new researches about burnout can present opportunities in relation to mental health promotion in the modern mental health environment.
Lack of evidence regarding underlying mental health problems such as burnout raises questions with regard to promoting mental health and wellbeing of healthcare staff and professionals (Johnson, et al, 2017).
Understanding the burnout syndrome in mental health nurses can contribute to promoting the health and wellbeing of nurses. This can also offer findings that can prove vital to protecting the mental health workforce. This is an important implication for the healthcare practice because significant changes are always happening which means that it is crucial that current researches are carried out to broaden options towards promoting mental health in practice.

Conclusion
Burnout syndrome has become highly prevalent in current mental health practice.
Understanding burnout in mental health nurses can contribute to the development of effective initiatives towards protecting this vital workforce.
Burnout syndrome has negative effects on the mental health and wellbeing not just of nurses, but of all professionals.
To deal with burnout syndrome in mental health nurses, current clinical interventions include having easy access to support systems, fostering an open and honest culture and promote shifting schedules and plausible workloads among others (Dickinson & Wright, 2013).
This presentation is aimed at providing a better understanding of the relevance of studying burnout in mental health nurses in different lenses of practice. Research suggests that the burnout syndrome is now considered as among the major mental health concerns in practice, especially in the mental health setting. Thus, there is a need for this research so that findings can be used to develop solutions and clinical interventions that can reduce burnout towards protecting the mental health workforce.Burnout In Mental Health Nurses MHP
