Relationship of Hardiness Personality With Nurse Burnout

Proceedings International Scholars Conference, Volume 7 Issue 1, October 2019, pp. 434-446 436 time (Waiten, Lloyd, Dunn, & Hammer, 2009). One factor that can affect burnout is personality characteristics (Herma, et al, 2015). Hardiness personality is a personality characteristic that has a tendency to perceive or view life events that have the potential to bring pressure as something that is not too threatening (Dodik & Astuti, 2012). Furthermore, hardiness personality can reduce the influence of tense events by increasing self-adjustment using social resources in the environment to be used as motivation and support (Nirwana & Yanladila, 2014). Hardiness personality can control individual overcoming stress (burnout) and work demands that occur. Correspondingly, the results of research conducted by Lucia and Asih (2015), as well as Aprilia and Yulianti (2017) showed that there was a significant negative relationship between hardiness and burnout personality on nurses, which means that the higher the hardiness personality, the lower the burnout and vice versa, the lower the hardiness personality, the higher the burnout experienced by the nurse. Based on data obtained from the Manado Adventist Hospital, the number of health workers in 2018 at the Manado Adventist Hospital reached 133 nurses. This proves that the health workers in the hospital who have the most number are nurses. Furthermore, according to the results of researchers' interviews with 6 nurses at Advent Manado Hospital, it was found that nurses had several burnout complaints including emotional exhaustion after work, lack of enthusiasm for work, impatience in dealing with clients, not too concerned with what happened to clients, felt that he had not achieved anything worthwhile while working and began to doubt his ability to solve work problems. Based on the background of the problem that has been described, the researcher is interested in conducting a study entitled "Relationship between Hardiness Personality and Burnout in Nurses at Advent Manado Hospital".
