Based on the operating room, emergency centre, ICU and outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou City, this study explores the relationship between the scheduling system, psychological support and nurse burnout, and provides a basis for the development of intervention strategies; this study uses Burnout Theory and Demand-Control-Support Model as the theoretical basis for designing a questionnaire containing three dimensions: scheduling system, psychological support and nurse burnout. Burnout Theory and Demand-Control-Support Model As the theoretical basis, this study designed a questionnaire containing three dimensions: scheduling system, psychological support and burnout. Descriptive statistics, reliability and validity tests, and correlation analyses were conducted using SPSS 22.0 on 124 nurses; the study showed that nurses generally had a high level of burnout (mean value 4.82), scheduling system had a significant negative correlation with psychological support (r=-0.390, p<0.01), scheduling system had a weak negative correlation with burnout (r=- 0.212, p<0.01), and scheduling system had a weak negative correlation with burnout (r=- 0.212, p<0.01). 0.212, p<0.05), and a non-significant correlation between psychological support and burnout (r=0.36, p=0.688), proving that the current psychological support measures have limited effect or are insufficient to meet the needs of the nursing workforce; the existing scheduling arrangement leads to work-life imbalance, which increases the need for psychological support; however, the existing psychological support measures have not yet been effective in improving burnout.
