Burnout is commonly caused by stress factors at work that lead to exhaustion both physically and mentally. The aim of this study is therefore to raise awareness on how to prevent burnout and promote wellbeing in nurses while answering the research question, ‘How can burnout be prevented among nurses? ´
This study has been conducted through the systematic literature review method with articles carefully chosen from the databases of EBSCO, CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar, MEDLINE and Academic Search Elite.
The results indicate that the prevention of burnout and the wellbeing of nurses requires the efforts of not only the affected person but also the management, colleagues and other stakeholders in the organization. There is a correlation between the wellbeing of nurses and the burnout experienced. Where the wellbeing of nurses is upheld, the prevalence of burnout is low.
The recommendations are that further research work on burnout in nurses should be done and that nurses should be better educated on the prevention, identification and management of burnout.
