[Stress and nursing. Comparison of the levels of burnout between surgical departments and intensive care units].
Burnout is a state of workers of helping professions that results from a situation of work stress and is characterised by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment. Burnout levels were measured in three nursing staffs: two of them working in intensive care units and one in a surgical department. The results show significant statistical differences between the two staffs of intensive care units. Such differences seem to be connected with the psychological climate evaluated in the units.
