to do unsafe actions. Nurses suffering from burnout and have a less safe environment will implement

inefficient care systems. Generally, high workload is directly proportional to the incident of burnout. This

research study aimed to find the effect of workload and safety communication on the level of burnout in

inpatient nurse services.

sakit Islam Jemursari Surabaya, Indonesia. This implementation of research study was started in April to

June 2019. The samples were collected using two populations of sampling method and got 138 nurses as

samples. To analyze the effect of workload and safety communication on burnout syndrome, the researcher

used multinomial logistics.

Results: The results of Multinomial logistic test showed that workload affected the incidence of burnout

with a value of p = 0.037 and safety communication did not affect the incidence of burnout syndrome with

a value of p = 0.274.

Conclusion: Workload affected the burnout syndrome incidence, while safety communication had no

notable effect on burnout syndrome. The researcher suggests the hospitals to provide mental and physical

health services, as well as stress coping training for nurses.
