Some of the strategies that can help prevent the high rate of burnout among nurses include social and psychological support as well as empowerment. An organization's ability to retain nurses depends primarily on creating an environment conducive to professional autonomy (Hatmaker, 2014, p. 227). Organizations should create an open environment where nurses have a means of mutual support. Examples of programs that can result in mutual support among nurses include sharing the workload among team members. Additionally, organizations should create time for social interaction among nursing teams. This can be done through social events such as annual retreats. Social events help address the problem of burnout by building trust and strong bonds among nurses (Portnoy, 2011). The other strategy to deal with the problem of nurse burnout is supervisor support. Healthcare facilities should encourage meetings between nurses and supervisors to discuss issues affecting their work. In addition to receiving support from colleagues and supervisors, nurses must be empowered. One way to empower them is to offer them better wages and salaries. The other solution is to offer them opportunities to progress in their studies, for example by reimbursing tuition fees. They should also have the opportunity to move up the career ladder, for example through promotions. Nurses also need psychological empowerment that
