title: Factors Related to Job Burnout Among Community Nurses in Changchun, China.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Community nurses are an important component of the community health service system. Job burnout among community nurses not only leads to a decline in satisfaction and an increased turnover rate but also may seriously affect the service quality and professional development of nurses.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  This study aims to elicit the conditions and factors that cause job burnout in community nurses in Changchun, Jilin Province, China.
  
  
  METHODS
  A questionnaire survey was administered to 420 registered nurses in Changchun using a convenience sampling method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Job burnout was found in 362 community nurses (86.2%), with a total mean job burnout score of 2.27 ± 0.65 points. Job burnout was related to marital status, educational level, job satisfaction, and interpersonal relationship difficulties.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These results indicate that community nurses have a high rate of job burnout. Experts should be employed to train nurses in interpersonal communication skills. The community working environment should also be improved.
