 I’m a graduate nurse. I deal with treating the
patient.
 I belong to the sector of nursing.
 The Psychological burnout is one of the major
transitional factor that has a serious impact over
the mental health of a nurse.
 This factor including stressful situation, work
pressure, emotional disillusion and various other

personal remedies that is concerned with
overcoming with this transitional factor of

physical health but it would be counted as

relaxation would act as a most important remedy
against the burnout.

with respect to work then then the situation of
psychological burnout will never arise.

 Raining communication:
 This is also an effective strategy with respect to
burnout.
 As if there would be effective communication in the
workplace then the important information would not
be left out which would ultimately help in minimising
the intensity of burnout (Jun & Costa, (2020)).

 If the organization will focus over the concept of
declining turnover rates then this will not lead to the
arisen of the situation of shortage of nurses.

Framing of rules and regulation:
 Overburden of work is also a main reason of burnout.
 This can also be related with the over-pressure of work that is
caused among new graduate from their senior.

REMEDIATION STRATEGIES
 As the transitional factor is responsible for the creation of high mental pressure
and due to that act as a base for the occurrence of many other problems in the form
of headache, tension, insomnia and many more (Yeh & et.al. (2020)).
 Thus, it is very essential for a graduate nurse to address with this factor along with
mitigating its impact so that not myself but the other graduate nurses too never
need to face this kind of burnout.

Continued…
 Being myself as a graduate nurse it is also very important that this
burnout would be minimised and mitigated so that I can pursue my
career without facing the situation of mental pressure.
 In order to mitigate this burnout, I would adopt some strategies that
will be related with my personal moves with respect to issue.
 I would adopt the practice of time management, yoga session,
meditation and taking break in order to relax my mind.

 As mental stress is having a direct relation with the working of an
individual so if it will be minimised then the performance of the
work along with efficiency would give a new rise (MarÃa del
Carmen & del Mar Molero-Jurado, (2018)).
 Likewise, if the performance and the efficiency would raise then it
will directly put an impact over the patient care and treatment.

although psychological burnout is one of the major transitional
factor that is concerned with mental illness or stress.
 However, adoption of the personal and professional practices would
help in meeting this factor.
