Burnout is often referred to as a psychological syndrome, characterized by feelings of energy depletion, dissociation from one's work or cynicism regarding one's job, and a reduction in professional efficacy. This review highlights the association of pediatric nurses' burnout and perceptions of patient safety. The studies showed a negative association between burnout and/or its individual components and safety attitude scoring and job satisfaction. Only four studies were identified, highlighting the need for more research into the emotional well-being of pediatric nurses.
