3. Strategic planning: Goals are established with deadline dates; a well-defined strategic plan is written. Use of a SCOT (Strengths, Challenges, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis will assist in the planning process:
Assess and identify system Strengths that will facilitate the success of a new project
Assess and identify Challenges that may hinder the initiative
Outline the Opportunities for success
Delineate the Threats to project completion, with strategies to overcome them

Organizational Change Models: Basic Assumptions of the Change Curve Model
Changing an organization is a highly emotional process
Group change requires individual change
No fundamental change takes place without strong leadership
The leader must be willing to change before others are expected to change
The larger and more drastic the change, the more difficult the change
The greater the number of individuals involved, the tougher the change will be to make (Duck, 2002)
*
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Organizational Change Models: Stages of the Change Curve Model
Stage I: Stagnation: Characteristics include lack of effective leadership, failed initiatives, and too few resources; depression occurs and/or hyperactivity exists; individuals may feel stressed and exhausted
Stage II: Preparation: Emotional climate is anxiety mixed with hopefulness; possibly reduced productivity; buy-in is essential; opportunity exists of getting people excited, but may fail if preparation is too long or too short
*
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Organizational Change Models: Stages of the Change Curve Model—(cont.)
Stage III: Implementation: Individuals must see “what is in it for me?”; it is essential to assess readiness for change and increase confidence in making the change
Stage IV: Determination: The highest chance of failure is in this stage; if results are not as expected, change fatigue may set in if determination to see the change through is not firm; highlighting small successes is crucial
Stage V: Fruition: Positive outcomes are seen; reward and celebration for effort is important; danger in this stage is that organization reverts back to complacency and begins stagnation
*
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Organizational Change Models: Kotter and Cohen’s Model of Change
Step 1: Create a sense of urgency: Create the emotional feeling that “we need to move NOW,” which is especially important when individuals are complacent
Step 2: Form a team: Select members who possess the needed knowledge and skills, the respect and trust of others, and enthusiasm and commitment; opinion leaders are particularly important
Step 3: Vision and strategy: Create a clear vision and workable strategy with reasonable timeline
*
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Organizational Change Models: Kotter and Cohen’s Model of Change—(cont.)
Step 4: Communicating the vision: Communicate the vision and strategies with “heartfelt messages” that appeal to the emotions, which will motivate change; repeating the message will make the strategies clearer
Step 5: Empowerment: Remove barriers that inhibit successful change
Step 6: Interim successes: Establish short-term successes to celebrate

Strategies to Overcome Barriers to Implementing EBP
Allow individuals to express their skepticism, fears, and anxieties in order to clarify misconceptions
Educate clinicians about EBP in a way that appeals to their emotions; this enhances their beliefs about their ability to implement it
Know the personality types of the individuals involved
Produce a written strategic plan
Develop SMART (i.e., Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time bound) goals to be achieved
*
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Strategies to Overcome Barriers to Implementing EBP—(cont.)
Communicate the plan clearly and often; use several media modes (e.g., written, visual/graphic, and video) if possible
Acknowledge that the team-building process is dynamic and requires creativity and flexibility
Match organizational resources and administrative support closely to the diffusion of EBP
Enlist leaders and managers early in the change
Create a critical mass of EBP adopters within leadership and individual clinicians to sustain the change

Burnout Among Nurses !2
Background
Burnout is a very common condition across the world and especially in the nursing
career. It’s the reduction in the energy and zeal of nurses manifesting in form of being
emotionally exhausted, lacking motivation, feeling frustrated, fatigued, and low reaction time
which reduces individuals’ output and work efficacy in general. Burnout has been strongly
attributed to the deficit in the number of healthcare professionals, a concern that goes way to be a
matter of global importance. The rapidly changing healthcare landscape that brings a paradigm
shift to increased demand for healthcare services in the world population has come with its
challenges. Although experts associate the change to improvement in the quality of life for which
people become capable of seeking healthcare services, the move has placed a lot of pressure on
not only the healthcare systems but particularly on the workforce (Mudallal, Othman, & Al
Hassan, 2017). However, governments have not moved at a similar pace to address these
pressures, leaving the mantle on the health institutions and professionals. To be specific, nurses,
as well as other healthcare providers, are left with a large number of patients to takes care of, a
number that keeps on increasing day after day, keeping them on the run all the time. The absolute
result of this healthcare environment is burning or wearing out, which without doubt minimizes
the efficacy of the nurse’s output.
The working environment for which the nurse staff doesn’t match the care demand
culminated by poor leadership creates unattractive working conditions. Indeed, WHO reports
indicate that shortages of nurses would nationally and internally interfere with the efforts to
health and well being of the world population. Where staff shortage exists, human resources are
Burnout Among Nurses !3
overstretched, working conditions become poor and unbearable, work becomes increasingly
hazardous to the health of the nurse- they get no rest, become stressed, productivity decrease
with the poor patient outcome which add up to the trauma of the workers. They end up losing
interest in their job, become highly dissatisfied, burnout and increase the chances of quitting the
job. In return, the turnover of nurses affects the quality of healthcare services offered because of
a lack of expertise and increasing the workload burden on the remaining staff (Sobral, et. al,
2018).
The research topic in question is consistent with the PICOT format which requires the
development of answerable and researchable questions. The research question of what impact
does burnout has on productivity or self-efficacy, career interest, expected outcome, turnover,
and quality of healthcare services in the nursing profession can have the following formula.
Population- the population is comprised of nurses in the wards; palliative care wards,
maternity and newborn, renal, ICU wards among others.
Intervention/Indicator- indications would include stressors such as social, psychological,
and work-related factors.
Comparison/control- may have placebo form nurses in private hospitals or theater staffs,
who in most cases are relatively sufficient. They usually take enough rest, do the work for a few
hours and thus less predisposed to burnout.
Outcome- nurses in these wards show a decrease in the reaction time, often get fatigued
and sick, may lose hope in the career, high dissatisfaction levels, and increased rate of turnover.
Burnout Among Nurses !4
Time-research can be cross-sectional.
Why burn out Syndrome is a Clinical problem
Productivity in many working environments, particularly in the provision of healthcare
services depends majorly on the motivation, energy, and the ability of the nurses to make fast and
accurate decisions regarding the circumstances they are confronted with. While this freshness
remains significant for a nurse to give the best they can to their client, many factors do affect that
state of consciousness and health for a nurse. just like other workers, nurses require enough time
to rest after work, take vacations to refresh and maintain the fitness of both the mind and the
body. However, in reality, nurses rarely get this rest, in most cases being on call, working for
long-hour shifts and in a stressful working environment.
The palliative care ward where I work has a capacity of between sixty to a hundred
patients. The nurses assigned to this ward are 20. Taking this as a reflection of the entire
healthcare system, we find that the ratio of nurses to the patient is 1:3 on the bare minimum. The
implication of this is that one nurse would at least take care of 3 patients daily on the minimum
with this number likely to increase every other day. Because the aged population is growing
rapidly and are prone to lifestyle diseases, the likelihood of demands for these services would
increase. Ultimately, nurses would have a huge burden on the care they have to take care of a
large number of patients, possibly over a long time. If the number of nurses remains the same
with the increasing workload, the department is likely to experience higher rates of turnover.
Burnout Among Nurses !5
Literature Review
According to Rola, et. al, (2017), burnout Syndrome is a trend that is synonymous in the
entire world with some areas severely suffering from the condition due to the limited workforce.
In this study that was conducted in Jordan, burnout among the working staff is characteristic of
depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and correlates to work
conditions, demographic traits, and leader empowering behaviors. the high level of burnout in
this part of the word subjective to poor working conditions including unfairness, an overload of
work, lack of leaders, personal and social issues necessitate improvement of health care services
to focus on eliminating burnout among the healthcare workers. Besides, nurses working on fixed
schedules demonstrated a greater level of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization compare
to the ones working on rotating shifts due to work overload. Besides, nurses working in private
environments felt to be in favorable conditions in terms of the quality of care, staffing, resource
capabilities, and leadership and collegial support (Mudallal, Othman, & Al Hassan, 2017).
A study done by Chang in Taiwan involving nurses on full-time basis self-efficacy,
outcome expectations, and positivity in career interests were measured. The study showed a
strong association between the three factors and burnout. Both self-efficacy and expected
outcomes showed an inverse relationship with a burnout in which it negatively impacts them.
Since self-efficacy was positively related to outcome expectations, any negative effects on the
two by burnout would consequently result in the diminishing the other factor. Interest in nursing
career negatively impacted the intention to quit the organization as well as leaving the
profession. The study concluded that since when nurses leave the profession, patient outcomes
Burnout Among Nurses !6
are negatively impacted, policymakers must focus on satisfying the expectations of nurses and
adequately compensate them fairly to retain them.
According to sabral, et. al, (2018), burnout syndrome is experienced by workers as a
result of being exposed to interpersonal stressors for a prolonged duration. The author notes that
burnout has become an issue of global concern by the justification of the number of researches
that have been previously done concerning the topic. More than 4000 articles on nursing burnout
have been found in PubMed with the database recording over 6000 publications on burnout
generally. Prevalence of burnout among the public university hospital workers in Sāo Paulo was
found to be 4.8% which was consistent with studies done in a general hospital in Recife,
Pernambuco, brazil. It outlined that burnout could have contributed to the high rate of sick nurses
observed during the study. In most cases, the participants indicated working unfavorably-forced
to deliver services with their exhausted minds and bodies. Also, the study identified failure of
getting support from colleagues and supervisors, lack of dialogue in workplaces, relationship
issues, lack of autonomy work overload as well as failure to be recognized as the major sources
of stress for nurses. Hence, organizations have a big role to play in identifying and minimizing
stressors congruent in their various work station in order to prevent employee burnout and
turnover (Sobral, et. al, 2018).
Elin in a study of the role of burnout in new professional’s problem of task mastering,
social acceptance, and role clarity, he noted that the is a gap in the goal to improve healthcare
because despite burnout being a common phenomenon there are no preventive measures.
Effective intervention programs for enabling socialization processes within an organization can

play a role in reducing cases of burnout for new employees. When the programs target on
clarifying the new role, enhancing social acceptance, and mastering of tasks within the first year
of work, it creates positive impacts of work in the years to come. This emphasizes the
importance of incorporating such an intervention program in establishing a favorable work
environment (Frögli, et. al, 2019).
According to Petitta et. al, (2016), that investigated the role of various stakeholders such
as leaders, patients, and colleagues as the sources of emotional exchanges and how they
determine the absorption of negative, (like anger) and positive (joy) emotions which culminate to
burnout. It outlined that emotional exchanges in workplaces are contributors to emotional
contingency and thus, burnout. However, while doctors are capable of joy and anger from
colleagues but less from leaders or patients, nursing absorbs emotions from both patients,
leaders, and colleagues. Emotions absorbed by doctors are likely to result in exhaustion but only
cynicism in nurses (Petitta, Jiang, & Härtel, 2017).
The article that Supports Nursing Intervention for Burn out Syndrome, why?
Both Rola’s and Sabral study provides that intervention programs are critical in burnout
reduction among workers. Rola stipulated that leaders and empowering leadership play a critical
role in helping nurses cope with stress at work. Identifying and devising preventive measures to
the causes of burnout is paramount in motivation at work, productivity, and the probability of
increased chances for career progression. This is synonymous with Sabral’s finding that removal
of various stressors by the management stand a big chance of retaining of employees (Sobral, et.
al, 2018). Creating a favorable environment requires employees to work for favorable shifts,

getting support from management and collaboration form colleagues to enable not only
experienced but also new employees from exhaustion and burnout.
Conclusion
From the discussions above, Burnout remains a world concern in the healthcare
profession. Many studies, both cross-sectional and case studies implicate a reduction in
employee nurses as the main cause of burnout. However, many types of research implicate
burnout in workplaces as a multifactorial condition developed sequentially by many social and
health environment under which nurses work. hence, the leadership of various institutions must
address the need as they vary from one institution to another in order to achieve a highly
motivated workforce, with energy to deliver quality healthcare and essentially reduce burnout
and the likelihood of experiencing the detrimental employee turnout.
