The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a staff training program based on CBT to evaluate the burnout of nurse mentors. The findings demonstrated that the knowledge of CBT
 which is the primary outcome measure
 significantly improved. Specifically
 significant improvement was observed in “partial focusing;' “overestimation/ underestimation
 extreme generalization
 listening
 and “brain storming' As secondary outcome measures burnout subscales such as “emotional exhaustion" and “depersonalization" decreased
 whereas the sense  of　personal accomplishment" improved. Communication skills such as “deciphering ability" and “expressivity"　on the communication scale improved. These results demonstrated that the implementation of CBT for nurse mentors was effective in not only reducing burnout
 but also in improving communication skills.
