There are a number of specific burdens on the specifics of the problem, which include, first of all, the occurrence of unpredictable situations that endanger the health and well-being of patients. All this makes the profession of nurse a particularly stressful job.

A large group of nurses also work in the workplace experiencing symptoms of burnout syndrome
