Nurses face many challenges in the work place including stress and combating burnout.
Nurses are expected to endure high levels of stress, work long hours with poor staffing ratios, go
through mental, emotional and spiritual rollercoasters, perform intense physical labor, and put
patients first before their own basic needs of eating or drinking at all times. When nurses are
constantly under such pressure they may experience burnout which results in physical, mental
and emotional exhaustion which results in a decrease in the quality of care patients receive, and
an increase in sickness or illness, nurses calling off of work and high turnover. Burnout can result
in anxiety and depression and can spill into personal lives, affecting those around the nurse that
is burned out. (Jennings, 2008)
The goal of this paper is to analyze and explore the author of this paper’s spiritual and
emotional inventory and risk for burnout. The author of this paper will also develop a plan to
combat compassion fatigue and burnout, and a plan to promote spiritual growth for this author.
Spiritual and Emotional Inventory
In order to grow spiritually, one must take a look at themselves and take a spiritual and
emotional inventory of themselves. The author of this paper took such an assessment by
Scazzero and Bird (2003), and found that the inventory results showed “emotional adults” in all
areas. This emotional and spiritual assessment uses two parts with a total of forty questions to
answer. Part A consists of seven questions which assesses general formation and discipleship. In
this area this author scored a twenty-three. Part B consists of six principles: look beneath the
surface (score 21), break the power of the past (score 20), live in brokenness and vulnerability
(score 24), accept the gift of limits (score 21), embrace grieving and loss (score 18), and make
incarnation your model for loving well (score 36). According to the inventory assessment,
