Differences in Burnout Drivers by Racial/Ethnic Identity: A National Analysis
Taryn Amberson PhD(c), MPH, RN-BC
Occupational burnout affects millions of workers across the United States each year, contributing to decreased productivity, increased turnover, higher healthcare costs, and significant impacts on employee mental and physical well-being.
This presentation examines racial and ethnic differences in burnout among registered nurses who considered leaving their positions, using national survey data and the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition methods to identify underlying mechanisms. Findings suggest that burnout disparities are driven by different organizational and workplace factors across racialized groups, highlighting the need for equity-focused interventions to improve nurse well-being and workforce retention. Time will be allotted for questions.
