Abstract

Background: One of the social service workers is a nurse who has a very demanding job. Job demands refer to the physical, psychological, social aspects of a job that require physical and psychological abilities on an ongoing basis which can lead to job stress, depression, and fatigue. Apart from being influenced by individual factors, burnout in nurses can be caused by external factors such as management, professionalism, social support, and the work environment and work demands. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between job demands and leaders^ support with burnout of nurses in the inpatient room of Muntilan Regional Hospital, Magelang Regency. Methods: The research design used was quantitative with cross sectional survey data collection methods using a closed questionnaire. The three instruments used have validity and reliability values of more than 0.80. The sample in this study were 49 nurses in the inpatient room who were selected by random sampling. Data were analyzed statistically using the Spearmen Rank Test. Results: There was a significant relationship with a strong positive pattern between work demands and burnout (p = 0.001- &#945- = 0.05 with r = 0.490), meaning that the higher the work demands, the greater the burnout. Meanwhile, for leaders^ support for burnout, it is known that there is a significant relationship with a strong negative pattern between leadership support and burnout (p = 0.001- &#945- = 0.05 with r = -0.526) meaning that the more leaders^ support, the smaller the incidence of burnout. Conslusions: Increase leaders^ support to reduce nurse burnout through various activities such as clinical supervision of the head of the room, discussion of case reflections and increasing other work motivation.
