Abstract: (1999 Views)
Background and aims: Nurses face challenging conditions such as sleep deprivation, job stress and multiple responsibilities. Given the crucial role of nurses in patient care and health promotion, attention has been drawn to topics such as the quality of work life. The present study aimed to determine the quality of nursing work life in hospitals affiliated with the University of Rehabilitation Sciences and Social Health.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 313 employed nurses in hospitals affiliated with the University of Rehabilitation Sciences and Social Health through simple random sampling in the year 2022. The data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire and the Richard Walton (1973) Work Life Quality Questionnaire. The inclusion criterion for the study was nurses with a bachelor's degree or higher. Data analysis was performed using descriptive indices and analytical statistics including t-test, ANOVA, and regression in SPSS23 software.
Results: More than half of the nurses participating in the study (53.4%) were male. 45% of the participants were between the ages of 31 and 40. 72.5% of the participants were married and 77.6% of the nurses had nurse bachelor’s degree.The quality of nursing work life was moderate to low in 84% of the nurses. The highest average score in Rofeideh Hospital was related to the work and total life space n (2.94), and in Razi Hospital, it was related Opportunity for continued growth and security domain (2.61). The lowest average score in both hospitals was related to the adequate and fair compensation domain (1.71 and 2.72). There was a significant relationship between the quality of work life and marital status and the hospital of employment (p < 0.001). Marital status and the hospital of employment were the most effective factors in predicting the quality of work life of nurses.
Conclusion: The quality of nursing work life in the University of Rehabilitation Sciences and Social Health hospitals was found to be moderate to low. The results indicate a correlation between low levels of quality of work life and the productivity and performance of nurses. Since the results of low levels of quality of work life are associated with nurses' productivity and performance, health managers should help to develop appropriate strategies and strategic plans such as motivating nurses' quality of life as the largest workforce in health care organizations, and thus facilitate the achievement of organizational goals.
