Özet

We examined the burnout status, professional satisfaction and intention to leave the profession of nurses who are actively working in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic period. We conducted the descriptive study with 371 nurses and collected using Copenhagen Burnout Scale (CBS), Occupational satisfaction scale (OSS) and Intention to leave the profession scale (ILPS). In this study, nurses showed a high level of exhaustion and intention to leave work, and a low level of occupational satisfaction. In the fight against COVID-19, the continuity of health services, at the same time, in order to provide adequate quality and safe health care, reducing working hours, bringing the shifts to an appropriate and reasonable time, improving the working environment and approaches that will increase their motivation and professional satisfaction are important to prevent nurses from experiencing burnout and to keep them in their professions and workplaces.
