Background: Burnout is a condition of chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion commonly experienced by healthcare workers due to prolonged work-related stress. This condition has become a serious concern in primary healthcare services, particularly in community health centers, because it may affect service quality and patient safety. Tampaksiring 2 Public Health Center faces increased workload after the pandemic, limited healthcare personnel, and high service demands, which elevate the risk of burnout among nurses. This study aimed to describe the incidence of burnout and the implementation of nursing care for nurses experiencing burnout at Tampaksiring 2 Public Health Center. Methods: A descriptive case study was conducted at Puskesmas Tampaksiring 2 from March to May 2025 involving 11 nurses. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and completion of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), supplemented by workload documentation review. Nursing care was delivered systematically based on SDKI, SLKI, and SIKI standards. Results: A total of 54.5% of nurses showed high burnout levels, characterized by severe emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. The primary nursing diagnosis was fatigue (keletihan). Energy management and psychosocial support interventions resulted in significant improvements in MBI scores after four weeks. Conclusion: Burnout among nurses at Puskesmas Tampaksiring 2 is at an alarming level, requiring structured nursing interventions and managerial policy measures.
