One contributing factor to the high turnover is the prevalence of mental distress. Stress of conscience among healthcare personnel has been shown to affect them negatively, and feeling that they cannot provide the care their patients need increases their stress levels. Therefore, an increased understanding of stress of conscience, its relation to burnout and its consequences for healthcare can improve hospital care for both patients and staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to investigate the correlation between stress of conscience and burnout among health care personnel at an acute care hospital in southern Sweden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethical Issues and Approval<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority and followed the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study used a descriptive cross\u2010sectional design.

Shift workers were more likely to experience burnout, and HCP living alone reported higher levels of stress of conscience. These findings highlight the combined impact of personal and organisational factors, underscoring the need for interventions that address both domains to reduce burnout and support workforce
