Hardiness, ways of coping, social support and burnout in 103 critical care nurses were addressed in this study Work‐related and nonwork‐related social support and hardiness were negatively related to burnout Use of emotion‐focused coping was positively correlated with burnout while hardiness was negatively related to the use of emotion‐focused coping and positively related to both types of social support After controlling for working nights, social support, hardiness, emotion‐focused coping and problem‐focused coping accounted for 44% of the variance in burnout scores
