AB This study describes distress symptomatology and levels of job-related
exhaustion in a sample of 153 hospital nurses currently caring for AIDS
patients. While the level of emotional exhaustion in the sample was not
alarmingly high, these nurses did report symptoms of distress. Levels of
emotional exhaustion were related to a variety of personal demographic,
AIDS-specific, and job-related factors. These factors included: age,
income, years of practice on the unit, recent change in shift, type of
unit, discomfort caring for AIDS patients, willingness to continue
caring for AIDS patients, number of AIDS patients cared for, job
tension, job influence, and enthusiasm about returning to work.
Regression analysis indicated, however, that six general job-related
factors accounted for about 46% of the variation in emotional
exhaustion. These results suggest that general job-related factors such
as 8-hour shifts, changing shifts, level of job tension, and other
factors characterizing all hospital care are particularly worthy of
future study.
