Introduction

Physical and psychological health, social relationships and professional environment determine the quality of life of nurses.

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of Hospital nurses and to identify the factors that influenced this assessment.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study concerning nurses who answered a questionnaire developed and structured in order to assess the quality of life and with the appliance of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQoL-BREF). The statistical processing was done with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0.

Results

Most of the nurses were women (78.30%), married (81.70%) and with a specialization degree (65 %). The mean age of the study population was 50.20 years (±7.20 years). Most of them considered their quality of life good or very good (46.7%) and were satisfied or very satisfied with their health (48.4%). There is a significant association between quality of life and satisfaction with life (p=0.000). The average score of Physical health was 55.76(±13.89). The average scale of Psychological health was 61.45 (±15.14). A significant correlation was observed between lack of antecedents and a better physical health (p=0.000).The psychological health was correlated with age (p=0.000) and social relationships (p=0.000).

Conclusions

Studying the quality of life of nurses is particularly important, since it can lead to the development of a policy for improving the working conditions in the public sector.

Conflict of interest

No significant relationships.
