Description

As burnout has increased significantly among nurses around the world, it impacts not only their physical health and mental well-being through ways such as impaired sleep and appetite, depression, anxiety, to name a few, but also their ability to make a balance between work and personal life. On the other hand, lack of work-life balance can lead to increased burnout. This session is about the interrelationship between burnout and work-life balance and how they impact each other.
