Abstract: Objective: To analyze the research progress of nurses' job burnout in China. Methods: "Nurse" and "burnout" or "fatigue" as subjects were searched in Wanfang Datebase in order to describe the status and influencing factors of nurses' job burnout in China. Results: 92 articles were retrieved. The incidence rates of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment were over 30%, 12% and 12% respectively. Institutional factors, such as staffing and profession title, were main influencing factors. Comprehensive occupational support measures for individual nurses were helpful in alleviating nurses' job burnout. Conclusion: Nurses' job burnout situation should not be ignored in China. It should be paid more attention to by policy researchers.
