Sources & references

Where the concepts, tools, and resources on this site come from. NurseWell's own text (articles, the assessment, coping tips) is original writing — it draws on the ideas below but does not copy from any copyrighted instrument.

Core concepts

  • Maslach, C., & Jackson, S. E. (1981). The measurement of experienced burnout. Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2(2), 99–113. — foundational framework for burnout's three dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism/depersonalization, reduced accomplishment), referenced in the Learn and Assessment sections.
  • Figley, C. R. (1995). Compassion Fatigue: Coping with Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder in Those Who Treat the Traumatized. Brunner/Mazel. — basis for how this site distinguishes compassion fatigue from burnout.
  • Jameton, A. (1984). Nursing Practice: The Ethical Issues. Prentice-Hall. — origin of the moral distress concept referenced throughout the site.
