Introduction: Psychiatric hospital nurses face a high risk of burnout because of heavy workloads and intense emotional demands, which can compromise the quality of nursing care and patient safety. Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) — reflecting the work environment, organizational support, and work–life balance — is a factor thought to influence burnout, yet evidence specific to psychiatric hospital settings in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between QNWL and burnout syndrome among nurses at a mental hospital in Bali Province.
Method: A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 140 inpatient-ward nurses, selected by simple random sampling from a population of 214, at Manah Shanti Mahottama Mental Hospital, Bali Province, in 2026. Data were collected using the Quality of Nursing Work Life Survey and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and analyzed with Spearman's Rank correlation test (α = 0.05).
Results: Most nurses reported a moderate level of QNWL (64.3%) and a moderate level of burnout syndrome (67.9%). Spearman's Rank test showed a significant, strong, negative correlation between QNWL and burnout syndrome (p = 0.000; r = -0.865): better QNWL was associated with lower burnout.
Conclusions: QNWL is strongly and inversely associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric hospital nurses. A supportive work environment, balanced workload, and organizational support are recommended as key strategies to reduce nurses' risk of burnout.
