Abstract
SILVEIRA, Renata Cristina da Penha; and MININEL, Vivian Aline. Quality of life and its relationship with the sociodemographic and work profile of hospital nursing workers. Enfermería Actual de Costa Rica [online]. 2021, n.41, 47107. ISSN 1409-4568. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revenf.v0i41.44769.
Aim:
This study assesses the quality of life of hospital nursing workers and their relationship with sociodemographic and work characteristics.
Methods:
The study was carried out on 68 nursing workers. The data collection instruments were a questionnaire with a socio-demographic and work profile and the Whoqol-bref Scale.
Results:
The results showed that 80.6% were female; 54.4% were married, 47.8% were nurses; and 56.1% were white. A total of 89.7% had a weekly workload of 36 hours, and 36.8% of them worked at night. For nursing technicians, the social relations domain had the highest average perception of quality of life; among nurses, it was the physical domain.
