Among the most vulnerable professions, healthcare personnel have been identified as the group most likely to experience burnout. Globally, research has shown that duty-related strain or pressure is increasing in nurses, leading to nursing burnout. Midwifery can be stressful since it involves working directly with family planning, clients of all ages, expectant moms and fathers, and their families. Nurses working in maternity departments at tertiary hospitals may be more susceptible to burnout due to the amount of work, working hours, and stressful working environment among other.enBurnoutDepersonalisationEmotional exhaustionNursesLack of personal accomplishmentUniversity of the Western Cape
