The profession is not only physically demanding while dealing with human health and function, but also necessitates the use mental energy and leads to mental exhaustion when one is continuously exposed to stressful events and situations which eventually leads to burnout. Aim: To identify and describe levels of burnout and its association with individual & work area related characteristics among nurses working in emergency & intensive care units of hospitals in Addis Ababa. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using structured self- administered questionnaire among emergency & intensive care nurses working in 11 hospitals in Addis Ababa. Results: A total of 297 questionnaires were distributed with response rate of 58.92%, which totals 175 participants. Forty-four nurses (25.2%), 25 (14.3%) nurses and 30 (17.1%) nurses in the study had high levels of emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP), and low personal achievement (PA) respectively, which shows that a significant number of participants had high levels of burnout. Means of EE & DP were slightly higher among men where these two dimensions showed decrement with increased age. Lower EE & DP were recoded among diploma nurses compared to participants holding bachelor’s degree. Significant numbers of participant nurses have V perceived their health status (9.1%), quality of life (9.1%) and job satisfaction (16.6%) as poor. Slightly more than 46% participants reported headache, over 38% backache, and over 31% reported sleep disorders as a consequence of their job stress. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between EE and perception of health status (Ƿ=-0.238, α=0.001). Conclusion: This study presents a strong evidence that a significant proportion of nurses experience mental and physiological disturbances due to the stress from their jobs, in hospitals of Addis Ababa.
