The primary goal of this study was to test the feasibility of an educational online self-assessment of burnout, resilience, trauma, depression, anxiety, and common workplace stressors among nurses working in a pediatric intensive care unit or neonatal intensive care unit setting. The secondary, exploratory objectives were to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms in this sample and to identify those variables that most strongly predict burnout. ⋯ An educational online self-assessment can be a helpful tool for pediatric critical care nurses experiencing varying degrees of burnout and distress.

Further research measuring the impact of interprofessional collaboration in healthcare is needed.
