and to provide the basis for the prevention and reduction of job burnout among minority districts nurses. Methods: 592 nurses in Dali

Schedule. Results: ① Based on the standards of critical value and component number, the degree of nurse job burnout was lower in
Dali than in Hangzhou and Xinjiang. ② There were differences in the depersonalization among different ethnic groups. ③ Emotional
exhaustion was negatively correlated with general well-being, and positively correlated with negative coping; depersonalization was
negatively correlated with general well-being and positive coping, and positively correlated with negative coping; personal
accomplishment was positively correlated with positive coping and negatively related to negative coping. Conclusion: It is an effective
way to improve the general well-being of nurses in ethnic minority areas by reducing the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization,
