Role overload, social support, and burnout among nursing educators.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between role overload, social support, and burnout among nursing educators. Ninety percent (N = 141) of nursing educators from eight campuses of the California State University system completed a four-part questionnaire. Later, in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 nursing educators and five chairpersons. The findings indicated that a demanding job correlated, significantly and positively with almost all aspects of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of students, and decreased sense of accomplishment). The degree of support from one's chairperson and peers correlated significantly and negatively with almost all aspects of burnout. The findings from the interviews verified these relationships. In the hierarchical regression analyses, a demanding job was the most important predictor of emotional exhaustion. Lack of peer support was the most important predictor of depersonalization towards students. Chairperson support was the most important predictor of a person's sense of accomplishment. Social support did not serve as a buffer against the negative effects of overload on burnout. It was concluded that attempts to alleviate burnout must directly address the extent of overload or the lack of support. Any attempt to mitigate the overload-burnout relationship by merely amplifying the amount of support is not likely to be effective.

A model for peak performance.
This study identified major factors that contributed to peak performance among eight nursing educators. The peak performers were interviewed 3 times over 8 years. Intense commitment to a mission, continual performance assessment, concentration on satisfaction and rewards, and the ability to set priorities and seek social support were delineated as factors in peak performance. Commitment to a personal mission that aligns with the demands of the university was a peak performer's ultimate personal investment and service to students and the university.

Nursing needs minorities.
Community college and university nursing programs need to increase the number of nurses entering our profession with a special emphasis on those of ethnic minority background. To advance nursing education and the status of nursing joint ADN-BSN articulated nursing programs need to be developed. Many more aggressive and sophisticated strategies for increasing the pool of minorities nurses throughout the higher educational system must be employed. Only then can quality service to our multi-ethnic society be ensured.
