Abstract: (525 Views)
Background: Nurses’ work life significantly impacts their overall well-being. This study aimed to comprehensively understand the quality of work life (QWL) in nursing, identifying its dimensions, attributes, and functions.
Materials and Methods: Walker and Avant used the eight-step concept analysis method to determine the defining attributes of the quality of nursing work life. The search was done in the English databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar together with Persian databases of Magiran and SID with the main keyword ‘Quality of Nursing Work-life’. The quality of work life of nurses and its derivatives were searched without a time limit. In the initial search (December 2022-September 2023), 135 articles and finally 26 articles were reviewed.
Results: The quality of nursing work life was defined and its dimensions including Work Design, work-life/Home Life, Work Context, and Work World were determined. Antecedents that can be assumed as potential factors of the quality of work life were categorized. Consequences were in managerial, professional, personal, and social domains.
Conclusions: The quality of work life, especially for nurses, is a concept in which many factors are involved and can have different consequences for nurses, managers, and even patients and their families. The results of this study can help better understand the quality of nursing work life in research and clinical environments
