Working in the healthcare sector has some rather high expectations. Burnout, however, results from this. Because of their enormous workloads and stress, nurses frequently find it difficult to provide patients with the high-quality treatment they deserve. We will examine the signs of nurse burnout in our study, including persistent exhaustion, worry, illness, and the feeling of being overworked and under pressure, which increases turnover and makes it harder for nurses to provide patients with the care they need. However, long work hours, lack of sleep, emotional stress from patients, exposure to job-related violence or threats, work overload, and time constraints are all factors that contribute to burnout in the health industry. However, every engaged nurse should possess the psychological capital of self-leadership. The idea was that if someone can’t lead himself, how can they ever lead others? The foundation of a nurse’s capacity to lead themselves is based on four practices: purposefulness, mindfulness, reflection, and practice. This study will look at the relationship between nurse burnout and self-leadership. We are interested in finding out whether self-led nurses experience good or negative differences from non-self-led nurses, as well as how this affects burnout.
