Abstract

Introduction: Nurses bear significant responsibility in caring for patients, often leading to high workloads, stress, or burnout. One factor that can help reduce burnout is social support from coworkers. This support serves as a source of assistance within the workplace environment, enabling nurses with high levels of social support to better manage burnout. This study aims to investigate the relationship between coworker social support and burnout among nurses working in the inpatient wards of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. Methods: This study employed correlational research design with cross-sectional approach. The participants included 60 nurses working in the inpatient wards, selected using non-probability sampling technique. Results: The Spearman-Rank test showed a significant relationship between coworker social support and burnout among inpatient ward nurses (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). The strength of the relationship was very high, with a correlation coefficient of τ = -0.840 (very strong negative correlation). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between coworker social support and burnout among inpatient ward nurses at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. This study provides valuable insights for fostering coworker social support as a preventive measure against burnout among inpatient ward nurses.
