Abstract
Introduction

Job burnout is one of the main factors in decreasing returns, causing physical and psychological complications in various occupations, especially in nursing. The effects of job burnout sometimes reduce the person's willingness to stay in the job. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between job burnout and willingness to stay of nurses.

Materials and Methods

This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 130 nursing staff in psychiatric wards of MUI hospitals selected by simple random sampling. Two questionnaires were used to collect information, Maslach burns out questionnaires and wiener and Vardy questionnaire for willingness to staying in the job. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 24.

Results

Emotional fatigue (58.46%), depersonalization of personality (44.61%), and inefficiency (43.07%) were calculated at a low level. Most nurses working in psychiatry wards had moderate (43.84%) willingness to stay. Also, the correlation between willingness to stay in the job and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization of personality was inverse and significant (P <0.05). But there was no significant correlation between willingness to stay and inefficiency and job burnout (P <0.05).

Conclusion

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the dimension of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization with the willingness to stay in the job. By reducing burnout and increasing the willingness of nurses to stay in psychiatry wards, more appropriate services increased job satisfaction, and reduced health care costs can be achieved.
