Abstract
Introduction: The Quality of Nursing Work life affects health and job satisfaction and directly impacts the healthcare services provided to patients. This study was conducted to determine the current status of the quality of nursing work life and identify the factors that influenced them among the nurses in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Esfarayen in 2019.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the quality of work life among nurses at Imam Khomeini Esfarayen Hospital (2019-2020). One hundred nurses were selected using census sampling that adhered to the stipulated inclusion criteria, and a questionnaire was completed about their characteristics and Walton's quality of work life. In the present study, content and face validity were qualitatively examined using the opinions of several educational and clinical specialists, and no changes were made regarding the simplicity and clarity of the items. The scale's reliability was determined using internal consistency, yielding a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86, indicating an acceptable reliability level for the questionnaire. After data collection, analysis ensued by applying descriptive statistics encompassing frequency, mean, and standard deviation in conjunction with independent tests and Fisher analytical tests utilizing SPSS version 16 software.
Results: In this investigation, 23.5% (23 individuals), 64.3% (63 individuals), and 12.2% (12 individuals) exhibited low, moderate, and high levels of work-life quality, respectively. There was a significant relationship between the organizational position and a secure and healthy work environment (p= 0/01), the general living environment (p=0/004), and the enhancement of human capabilities (p= 0/002), as well as between the overall state of work-life quality and working shift variables (p=0/009) and organizational position (p= 0/006).
Conclusion: The study showed that nurses with fixed shifts and administrative positions had a higher quality of life. Managers and planners should note nurses' work-life balance and take appropriate measures to improve it. This will help create better conditions for nurses to provide high-quality care.
