The mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between technostress and burnout prevention among critical care nurses a structural equation modelling approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Critical care nurses frequently experience high levels of technostress due to the increasing demands of healthcare technology, which contributes to burnout. Emotional intelligence has been shown to buffer stress in demanding environments, potentially mitigating burnout. However, its mediating role in the relationship between technostress and burnout among critical care nurses remains underexplored.

Aim

This study aims to examine the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between technostress and burnout among critical care nurses.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 180 critical care nurses from two hospitals in Damnhour City, Egypt. Data were collected using the Technostress Questionnaire, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory
