Abstract: 
Background: intensive care unit staff is vulnerable to burnout because of the everyday exposure to challenging circumstances like providing care for the severely ill patients. This study set intended to examine burnout, satisfaction, and related factors among ICU nurses.
Method: A systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The search was conducted using the databases Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Among the search terms are nurses, burnout, and intensive care units. The search was restricted to papers that were released between 2015 and 2020.
Result and conclusion: We considered 5 cross-sectional studies with a total of 1953 individuals in our systematic review. High emotional tiredness scores were shown to be significantly linked with personality characteristics and depression. Some psychologists claim that four personality traits—responsibility, agreeableness, neuroticism, and extraversion—have a strong link with emotional tiredness. The Depersonalization and Personal Achievement were linked to these related factors by including openness. These results show a connection between extreme job overload and high degrees of depersonalization and emotional weariness.
