This study was designed to examine the relationship between emotional reactivity and burnout among clin-ical nurses.Methods: This correlational and cross-sectional study was conducted at a university hospital. The sample consisted of 199 nurses. The data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, the Emotion Reactivity Scale (ERS), and the Burnout Measure-Short Form (BM-SF).Results: The study participants had a mean BM-SF and ERS score of 35.85 +/- 11.42 and 41.78 +/- 8.50, respectively. They had a mean ERS emotional sensitivity, emotional intensity, and emotional persistence subscale score of 13.94 +/- 3.45, 11.46 +/- 2.54, and 16.36 +/- 3.71, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the BM-SF and ERS scores (p<0.001).Conclusion: Clinical nurses often experience conditions that can trigger emotional reactivity and individuals who dis-play greater emotional reactivity tend to have a higher degree of burnout. It is important that institutions and govern-ing bodies provide nurses with training related to emotion recognition and expression to help them develop coping skills and psychological resilience.en10.14744/phd.2022.24381info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEmotion ExpressionNursesProfessional BurnoutArticle133205210N/AWOS:0008783721000032-s2.0-85140435732Q31173608
