Background and purpose: Female nurses are exposed to many problems due to their working
situation. This will make them vulnerable to stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. In this study we
structurally analyzed burnout among nurses while considering acceptance, commitment, and emotion
regulation.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in May 2013 and
included 180 nurses working in a hospital located in city of Isfahan. A total of 119 cases was randomly
selected using Morgan table. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT), and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were used to collect the data. Data was
then analyzed using SPSS and Lisrel program.
Results: The results indicated a significant correlation between burnout, emotion regulation, and
acceptance and commitment. Structural equation modeling showed direct relationships between burnout
and ACT and emotion regulation and ACT. We also found ACT with a mediation effect in the
relationship between burnout and emotion regulation.
Conclusion: This study showed emotion regulation and ACT as the main indicators for burnout.
