Cross-sectional analysis demonstrates the correlation of fatigue and burnout in hospital nurses, suggesting self-rated health as a vital mediator.
This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of self-rated health in the relationship between fatigue and burnout among hospital nurses. Data were collected from 216 nurses working in A and D city from November to December 2024 and were analyzed using multiple regression analysis in SPSS 27.0. The results indicated that burnout was positively correlated with fatigue (r=.502, p<.001) and negatively correlated with self-rated health (r=-.363, p<.001). Similarly, fatigue exhibited a negative correlation with self-rated health (r=-.417, p<.001). Furthermore, the mediating role of self-rated health in the relationship between fatigue and burnout was confirmed (Z=2.779, p<.001). These findings highlight the importance of interventions aimed at enhancing self-rated health to mitigate burnout associated with fatigue among hospital nurses, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being.
