RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To determine the relationship between ethical climate and burnout in nurses working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). METHODS: This cross-sectional and multi-center study was conducted among 212 nurses working in adult ICUs of six hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2019. The participants were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Data was collected using valid instruments of Olson's Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). RESULTS: Ethical climate was favorable (3.5±0.6). The intensity (32.2±12.4) and frequency (25.5±12.4) of burnout were high. Ethical climate had significant and inverse relationships with frequency of burnout (r =-0.23, p=0.001) and with intensity of burnout (r=-0.186, p=0.007). Ethical climate explained 5.9% of burnout. Statistically significant relationships were also found between these factors: age with ethical climate (p=0.001), work shifts with burnout (p=0.02), and gender and with intensity frequency of burnout in ICU nurses (p=0.038). The results of Spearman correlation coefficient showed significant and inverse relationships between ethical climate and job burnout (r=-0.243, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Nurses in ICUs perceived that ethical climate was favorable however, burnout was high. Therefore, burnout can be affected by many factors and it is necessary to support ICU nurses since they undertake difficult and complicated task. It is recommended to assess factors that increase burnout and adopt specific measures and approaches to relieve nursing burnout.

Objetivo. Determinar la percepción de las enfermeras sobre el clima ético y el agotamiento laboral en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Métodos. Este estudio de corte transversal y multicéntrico se realizó con 212 enfermeros que trabajaban en UCI para adultos de seis hospitales afiliados a la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Shiraz, Irán, en 2019. Los participantes se seleccionaron mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio sistemático. Los datos se recolectaron a partir de la utilización de instrumentos Encuesta de Clima Ético en Hospitales (HECS) de Olson y el Inventario de Burnout de Maslach (MBI). Resultados. El clima ético fue favorable (3.5±0.6). La intensidad (32.2±12,4) y la frecuencia (25.5±12.4) del agotamiento fueron altas. El clima ético tuvo relaciones significativas e inversas con la frecuencia de Burnout (r=-0.23, p=0.001) y con la intensidad del burnout (r=-0.186, p=0.007). El clima ético explica el 5.9% del agotamiento. También se encontraron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre edad y clima ético (p=0.001), turnos de trabajo y burnout (p=0.02), además de género y frecuencia de intensidad de burnout (p=0.038). El coeficiente de correlación de Spearman mostró relaciones significativas e inversas entre el clima ético y el agotamiento laboral (r=-0.243, p<0.001). Conclusión. Las enfermeras en las UCI percibieron que el clima ético era favorable, sin embargo, el desgaste fue alto. Por tanto, el burnout puede verse influido por muchos factores y es necesario apoyar a estas enfermeras que cumplen una tarea difícil y complicada. Se recomienda evaluar los factores que aumentan el agotamiento y adoptar medidas y enfoques específicos para aliviar el burnout de enfermería.
Objetivo. Verificar a diferença entre a percepção dos enfermeiros sobre o clima ético e o desgaste no trabalho em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Métodos. Este estudo transversal e multicêntrico foi realizado com 212 enfermeiras que trabalham na UTI adulto de seis hospitais afiliados à Universidade de Ciências Médicas de Shiraz, Irão, em 2019. Os participantes foram selecionados por meio de uma técnica de amostragem aleatória sistemática. Os dados foram coletados usando os instrumentos Enquete de Clima Ético em Hospitais (HECS) de Olson e o Inventário Burnout de Maslach (MBI). Resultados. O clima ético era favorável (3.5±0.6). A intensidade (32.2±12.4) e a frequência (25.5±12.4) de exaustão foram altas. O clima ético teve relações significativas e inversas com a frequência de Burnout (r=-0.23, p=0.001) e com a intensidade de Burnout (r=-0.186, p=03007). O clima ético explica 5,9% do esgotamento. Também foram encontradas relações estatisticamente significativas entre: idade e clima ético (p=0.001), turnos de trabalho e Burnout (p=0,02), além de gênero e frequência da intensidade do Burnout (p=0.038). O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman mostrou relações significativas e inversas entre clima ético e Burnout (r=-0243, p<0.001). Conclusão. As enfermeiras das UTIs perceberam que o clima ético era favorável, porém, o desgaste foi alto. Portanto, o Burnout pode ser influenciado por diversos fatores e é necessário apoiar essas enfermeiras que cumprem uma tarefa difícil e complicada. Recomenda-se avaliar os fatores que aumentam o Burnout e adotar medidas e abordagens específicas para aliviar o Burnout da enfermagem.
