Abstract: (5 Views)
Background: Quality of life (QoL) influences nurses' dynamism, efficiency, and professional performance. Given their critical role, nurses constitute the largest workforce in the healthcare system and are the primary providers of patient care; therefore, maintaining a high QoL among them is essential for enhancing healthcare service delivery. The present study aimed to assess the QoL of nurses working in hospitals in Gonabad and Sabzevar, Iran, and to identify its associated factors.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study investigated QoL among 500 nurses in Gonabad and Sabzevar during 2023. The participants were recruited via convenience sampling. Eligible participants, holding at least a bachelor’s degree in nursing with a minimum of one year of clinical experience and willingness to participate, completed a demographic questionnaire and the Nursing QoL Scale (NQOLS). Questionnaires that were completed less than 80% were excluded. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS (version 20), employing descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The results revealed that the mean QoL score for nurses was 54.21 ± 13.01, indicating a moderate level. Among the six dimensions of QoL, the highest score was observed in the social domain, while the lowest was in self-care. Work experience, marital status, and income level were significantly associated with nurses’ QoL (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings obtained indicated that nurses’ QoL was moderate and unevenly distributed across its dimensions. Marital status, work experience, and income emerged as the primary factors associated with variations in QoL. Integrating these determinants into managerial planning may help improve working conditions and, in turn, enhance nurses’ well‑being and support better clinical performance within hospital settings.
