Quality of Work Life and its Associated Factors among Primary Healthcare Nurses in Madinah City, Saudi Arabia

Objectives: In this study, we investigated the quality of work life and its influential factors among primary healthcare nurses in Madinah City. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional design using an online survey to capture data from 290 primary healthcare nurses. We used a quality of nursing work life scale. Results: Less than half (45.9%) of primary care nurses had a high work life quality level, 43.8% had a moderate level, and 10.3% had a low level. Work world elements had the highest mean score, followed by the job structure, work/home life, and work context subdomains. Age, income, nationality, marital status, and number of children were factors that affect nurses' work life quality (p = .020, .001, .040, .002, and .00, respectively). Conclusion: The level of nurses' quality of work life varied from moderate to high; age, income, nationality, marital status, and number of children influenced nurses' work life quality. It is imperative to pay closer attention to nurses' quality of work life and factors that influence it, which can lead to enhanced patient and nurse satisfaction and provide high quality care.
