Aim: Nurses are at risk for burnout, intention to leave the profession, and missed nursing care due to the highly demanding nature of care. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between burnout and intention to leave the profession, which increased significantly during COVID-19 among nurses, and missed nursing care.
Method: This cross-sectional and descriptive study, conducted after the official end of the COVID-19 pandemic, was conducted with 301 nurses across Turkiye between May 2023 and October 2023. Data were collected online using the Nurse Information Form, Maslach Burnout Scale, and The MISS-CARE Survey.
Results: Burnout levels of the nurses were moderate and 70.4% of them chose their profession willingly and 37,5% of them wanted to leave their profession. It was determined that there was a moderate negative correlation (r=-0,308; p<0,001) between the sub-dimensions of the MBS and the reasons for MISS-CARE Survey. The scores of the nurses who wanted to leave their profession were higher than the other nurses in terms of Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalisation and the Reasons for MISS-CARE Survey (p<0,05).
Conclusion: The results of this study show that critical interventions are needed to address the factors affecting nurses' burnout and turnover in the provision of quality and adequate care.
