The aim of this study was to explore the mediating mechanism of occupational burnout between PTSD and turnover intention in nursing staff in public health emergencies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design<\/jats:title>\n The study was a cross\u2010sectional survey involving 1087 nursing personnels from 17 provinces in China. Convenience sampling was employed to select nursing personnel from frontline clinical settings in 17 Chinese provinces from March to May 2023. After excluding 13 invalid questionnaires, 1087 valid questionnaires were obtained, resulting in an overall validity rate of 98.8%.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Civilian version of Post\u2010traumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire (PCL\u2010C), Maslach Burnout Inventory\u2010General Survey (MBI\u2010GS) and Turnover Intention Questionnaire (TIQ) were used respectively. Post\u2010traumatic stress symptoms, occupational burnout and turnover tendency were assessed. Ethical review approval: Approval unit: Medical Ethics Committee of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital; Approval number: 2023\u201023\u2014Science and Technology.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n 15.8% of nursing personnel had PTSD, 71.8% had occupational burnout and 63.7% had turnover intention. The scores of occupational burnout and turnover intention of nursing personnel with PTSD were higher than those without PTSD. Each dimension of PTSD was positively correlated with all dimensions of occupational burnout and nurse resignation (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). Occupational burnout was also positively correlated with all dimensions of turnover intention of nursing personnel (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). Occupational burnout partially mediated the relationship between PTSD and turnover intention of nursing personnel in COVID\u201019.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n During public health emergencies, during the COVID\u201019 pandemic, nursing personnel had PTSD, occupational burnout and turnover intention. PTSD plays a significant direct and indirect role in nurse turnover. Therefore, it should be a standard practice to monitor and manage PTSD among nursing personnel and provide proactive support systems in order to retain personnel and promote the best nursing practice standards during public health emergencies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n No patient or public contribution.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.70555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]],"date-time":"2026-06-24T04:17:47Z","timestamp":1782274667000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Occupational Burnout, Post\u2010Traumatic Stress Disorder and Intention to Resign Among Nursing Personnel During Public Health Emergencies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Huilongguan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8988-9349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leilei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Huilongguan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yanqing District Mental Health Hospital of Beijing Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianing","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Huilongguan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Huilongguan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingxun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Huilongguan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangbo","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Yanqing District Hospital (Peking University Third Hospital Yanqing Hospital) Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40617-023-00788-y"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","first-page":"54","article-title":"Job Satisfaction and Healthcare Workers' Turnover Intentions: A Comparative Study Between Single and Dual Jobholders","volume":"38","author":"Bakhamis L.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Health Care Manager"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12912-023-01662-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2024.104815"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2019.8233"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","article-title":"Study on the Influencing Factors of Nurses' Job Burnout in Rizhao City Under COVlD\u201019 Epidemic.
