Introduction:Nurses’ quality of work life is recognized as an important factor in retaining the nursing workforce, improving professional performance, and enhancing the quality of healthcare services. Pediatric nurses, due to continuous exposure to complex patient conditions, parental concerns, and the emotional burden of care, may experience greater occupational pressures. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between quality of work life and quality of life among nurses working in Shahid Motahari Children's Hospital in Urmia in 2025.
Methods:This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2025 among nurses working at Shahid Motahari Children's Hospital in Urmia. Participants were selected using a census sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, Walton’s Quality of Work Life Questionnaire, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 through descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and comparative statistical tests. A significance level of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results:The mean score of nurses’ quality of work life was 83.72 ± 10.76, and the mean score of their quality of life was 32.11 ± 8.07. The results of Spearman’s correlation test showed no significant relationship between quality of work life and quality of life among nurses (r=0.03, P=0.62). Significant relationships were observed between quality of work life and age (P=0.001), work experience (P<0.01), marital status (P=0.001), and work shift type (P=0.001). A significant relationship was also found between nurses’ quality of life and age (P=0.001).
Conclusion:Although this study did not identify a significant direct relationship between quality of work life and quality of life among nurses, demographic and occupational factors such as age, work experience, marital status, and work shift type were associated with nurses’ quality of work life and quality of life. Attention to working conditions, nurses’ individual characteristics, shift scheduling, and strengthening organizational support may contribute to improving the professional well-being and quality of life of pediatric nurses.
