Introduction: High stress in nurses' workplace is one of the leading causes of burnout among them. For this reason, nurses need to be trained to overcome their burnout. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of using signature strengths in a new way and affective capital promotion training on burnout of nurses.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental, and the research design was three groups with two stages of pre-test and post-test. Among nurses of a government hospital in Isfahan in the spring of 2019, based on criteria of entry and exit, 45 nurses were selected and then randomly assigned in two experimental groups and a control group (each group with 15 nurses). The burnout questionnaire (with three components of physical fatigue, cognitive weariness, and emotional exhaustion) was used in pre-test and post-test stages to measure the dependent variable. The using signature strengths in new way training and affective capital promotion training were conducted during ten sessions. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance using SPSS software.
Results: The results revealed that the cognitive weariness (F = 9.08, P < 0.01), and emotional exhaustion (F = 6.55, P < 0.01) in the using signature strengths in new way training group and affective capital promotion training group were significantly lower than the control group, but there is no significant difference between two experimental groups and a control group in physical fatigue (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: The results confirmed the effectiveness of using signature strengths in a new way and affective capital promotion training on reducing cognitive weariness and emotional exhaustion of nurses. It is suggested that using signature strengths in a new way, and affective capital promotion training be used to more effectively manage nurses' cognitive weariness and emotional exhaustion in hospital settings.
