“…Therefore, further studies are needed to identify the specific measures that strengthen workplace spirituality among female nurses who survived cancer, to increase their QWL. It is worth mentioning that OLS results did not show fatigue and job stress as significant predictors of QWL, which contradicts previous results where fatigue was significantly correlated with QOL in cancer survivors [ 35 ]. The reason for this difference may be due to the fact that the female nurse survivors of cancer in our study had a lower level of fatigue than that of healthy nurses [ 36 ], which may be attributable to the stronger perceived need to maintain good health and engage in self-care to recover, resulting from their cancer experience [ 13 ].…”

Background and objectives: Identifying the factors affecting the Quality of Work Life (QWL) of cancer survivor female nurses is important and necessary to overcome the various challenges experienced by these professionals upon returning to work following recovery from the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors affecting the level of nurses’ QWL. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 115 registered female nurses who had survived cancer, in general hospitals and clinics in South Korea. SPSS statistics version 21 was used for ordinary least squares, and Stata version 12.0 was used for quantile regression analysis. Results: Workplace spirituality affected all quantiles of QWL except the 90% quantile; fatigue was an affecting factor in the 20%, 30%, and 70% quantiles; and job stress in the 20%, 30%, 40%, and 60%, 70%, 80% quantiles. For workplace spirituality, the effect size was 0.33 (p < 0.001) in the 10% quantile, increasing to 0.45 (p < 0.001) in the 80% quantile. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, suggestions for clinical practice include providing the mediating strategies and programs to manage fatigue and job stress as well as workplace spirituality. Job-related factors such as shift work should also be considered.
