Introduction: Nurses face high levels of stress and burnout due to the demanding nature of their profession.
Objective: This study compared stress and burnout levels among nurses working in special and general wards at Tohid Hospital, Sanandaj.
Method: This descriptive study, conducted between April and June 2017, assessed burnout and job stress in 214 nurses working in the hospital wards. Data were collected using the Maslach and Jackson Burnout Inventory (1986) and the Osipow Job Stress Questionnaire (1987). They were then analyzed using ANOVA and SPSS (version 18).
Findings: ANOVA revealed significant differences in both job stress (F=17.831, p<0.05) and job burnout (F=17.831, p<0.05) between different departments. Emergency, CCU, and ICU nurses reported the highest mean job stress, while oncology, emergency, burn, and dialysis nurses reported the highest mean job burnout.
Conclusion: Nurses, particularly those who were working in special wards, experienced high job stress and burnout. Oncology, burns, emergency, and dialysis wards showed high burnout levels. Stress and burnout in general wards were associated with shift duration, number of shifts, experience, and patient load.
