Assessing the Emotional Fatigue and Its Impact on Nurses’ Job Performance in Selected Government Hospitals in Metro Manila

This study assessed the level of emotional fatigue and its impact on the job performance of nurses in selected government hospitals in Metro Manila. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 100 nurses through a validated questionnaire. Findings showed that nurses experienced high emotional fatigue but maintained satisfactory job performance. A significant negative relationship was found between emotional fatigue and job performance (r = -0.64, p < 0.05), indicating that higher emotional fatigue was associated with lower job performance. The study recommends implementing employee wellness programs to reduce emotional fatigue and improve nurses' well-being and performance.
