“…Results in this study support the theory that long working hours (≥10 h/day) negatively affect these 2 components of QOL (ie, PCS and MCS), which is also consistent with our previous results. 25 Moreover, our observations indicate that working in the surgery department is a positive factor for PCS and MCS among doctors. In contrast, working in the pediatrics department negatively affects PCS among doctors, and working in the operating room negative affects MCS among nurses.…”

The present study was conducted to investigate workplace violence and to examine how it is associated with quality of life (QOL) among medical professionals in China. A total of 2,464 medical professionals were selected from Fujian Province and Henan Province by using stratified cluster-sampling method. A Chinese version of the workplace violence scale was used to measure the incidence of workplace violence. The Short Form-36 Health Survey was employed to assess their QOL. Approximately 50% of the participants reported at least one type of workplace violence occurring in the previous 12 months. The multivariate analysis demonstrated workplace violence as a significant predictor for QOL among medical professionals, after controlling for other potential predictors. It suggests that the implementation of violence prevention policies and strategies to reduce workplace violence may improve QOL of medical professionals in China.

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of work stress on job burnout and quality of life between female nurses and doctors in China. The participants were 947 female nurses and 685 female doctors selected from Fujian provinces by using stratified cluster sampling method. The Chinese version of Short Form-36 Health Survey was used to measure quality of life; the Occupation Stress Inventory-Revised Edition was applied for occupational stress; and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey was used to assess job burnout. Occupational stress (indicated by different stressors) played an important role in job burnout and quality of life among female nurses and female doctors when taking into account other potential influencing factors simultaneously. These results show that it is important to adopt different preventive measures to prevent burnout and improve quality of life among the 2 populations according to the different stressors.

“…The SF-36, originally developed in English, has been translated into Chinese, which is considered to have good reliability and validity for the Chinese general population (Li et al 2002(Li et al , 2003. Results from our previous study (Wu et al 2010) also indicated that the Chinese version of SF-36 had good reliability and validity for medical professionals (Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient of the test-retest reliability exceeded 0.70 in all scales).…”
