University Nursing: Interventions to Prevent Burnout - A Rapid Review

This rapid review examines interventions designed to prevent and reduce burnout among nursing professionals in healthcare settings. The study aimed to identify the most effective strategies, focusing on systematic reviews published between 2009 and 2019. The review included non-pharmacological interventions like organizational, person-centered, and combined approaches. The methodology involved searching electronic databases (MedLine and CINHAL), applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assessing the methodological quality of included studies using AMSTAR. Data extraction and synthesis were performed narratively. The results indicated that combined and work-directed interventions were effective in reducing burnout, while person-directed interventions showed less effectiveness. The review concludes with implications for practitioners and researchers, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based interventions to improve nurses' well-being and patient care.
