• Abstract:

  Nursing is a high-risk group especially susceptible to Burnout due to direct and close contact with patients. Psychological flexibility is a key element of mental health and has beneficial effects on psychological health. Study aim was to analyse the correlation between Burnout syndrome and psychological flexibility and between Burnout dimensions and emotional symptomatology and occupational stress in nurses.  A correlational-comparative study was performed with 980 registered nurses working in southern Spain. Sociodemographic variables and the Spanish version of NSS, DASS-21, MBI, AAQ-II questionnaires were used. It was observed significant negative correlations between Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and psychological flexibility [r= -.317, p< .01; r= -.276, p< .01], and between Personal Accomplishment and emotional symptomatology, and between Personal Accomplishment and occupational stress. Also, a significant positive correlation between Personal Accomplishment and psychological flexibility [r= .131, p< .01], between Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and emotional symptomatology, and between Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and occupational stress was observed.  Psychological flexibility seems to explain a significant prevalence of Burnout in Spanish nurses.
