“…It was also noted that level of physical and cognitive functions declined with age, which could influence nurses' work performance (Abbasi et al, ). However, Piotrkowska, Jarzynkowski, Książek, and Mędrzycka‐Dąbrowska () reported that older nurses had higher level of satisfaction with life because they had more patience, experience and knowledge to perform their work more efficiently than younger nurses. In addition, other studies have not found a significant association between age and QoWL (Akter et al, ; Nowrouzi et al, ; Opollo, Gray, & Spies, ).…”

Aim To explore the relationship between job burnout and quality of working life, and identify influencing factors of nurses' quality of working life. Background Understanding the influencing factors of quality of working life is important to improve nursing retention strategies. Job burnout can negatively influence work efficiency and quality of work. However, studies examining the association between the two remain limited. Methods The cross‐sectional survey of 2,504 nurses was performed in Eastern China. Nurses were invited to complete self‐report questionnaires online. The collected data were analysed using Pearson's correlation and multiple regression. Results About 64.0% of nurses experienced job burnout, and their quality of working life was at a moderate level. Job burnout, hospital level, age, income, night shift and patient‐to‐nurse ratio were significant factors of quality of working life. Conclusion Job burnout has a negative effect on nurses' quality of working life. Some demographic and work‐related factors should be considered when developing interventions to improve nurses' quality of working life. Implications for Nursing Management Hospital and nurses managers should develop strategies to reduce nurses' job burnout and enhance their quality of working life, such as optimum nurse staffing, offer reasonable pecuniary compensation and establish an appropriate shift work schedule.

“…More than 50% of nurses had weekly work time over 40 h, which exceeded the domestic standard in China. Additionally, long-term night work probably affects nurses’ sleep quality, leading to psychological problems, affecting their perceptions of life, and resulting in reduced SWB (Booker et al, 2019; Dai et al, 2019; Piotrkowska et al, 2019). What’s more, about 20% of nurses surveyed in this study were highly discontent with the nurse-patient relationship.…”

“…Based on previous literature, several demographic and job characteristics were suggested to be associated with SWB. Piotrkowska et al (2019) reported that life satisfaction of nurses increased with age and shift-working day and night reduced life satisfaction. Zhou et al (2015) found the association between higher educational level, being married/cohabitation and higher level of SWB.…”

PurposeNurses are undertaking tremendous physical and psychological pressure, which may reduce their subjective well-being (SWB). This study is aimed to identify the relationship among perceived organizational support (POS), self-esteem, and SWB, and to further explore whether self-esteem could be a moderator in the association between POS and SWB in Chinese nurses.Materials and MethodsThis study was conducted in Liaoning Province in China, in 2018. 606 valid questionnaires were collected. Demographic factors, job conditions, the Index of Well-Being, Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS), and Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale (RSES) were included in each questionnaire. The association among POS, self-esteem, and POS × self-esteem interaction with SWB were examined by hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis.ResultsAverage score of SWB in Chinese nurses was 8.27 ± 2.64. Being married was positively related to SWB, while having longer work time per week, having night shift and dissatisfied with nurse-patient relationship were correlated with lower SWB. POS and self-esteem were important factors for SWB. Self-esteem could moderate the relationship between POS and SWB. When self-esteem was higher, POS had a greater effect on SWB.ConclusionSubjective well-being of nurses in the study was at a low level. Self-esteem could moderate the association between POS and SWB. More interventions related to POS and self-esteem will be helpful to improve SWB among nurses.

“…can be, at least partially attributed to the perception that some of the clients being managed for cancer have terminal illnesses and may die soon [1]. Therefore, oncology centres should put forth more effort to manage the psychosocial consequences of the work environment in an attempt to retain oncology nurses and progress their professional quality of life as well as their overall wellbeing [2].…”

Background: For oncology nurses, compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfactions are frequently experienced psychosocial consequences of the oncology work environment. Surveying such phenomena helps to understand how nurses feel and behave when cancer care is provided. Besides, tracking the evolving nature of those three concepts can lend a hand for the early detection of personal and professional suffering of nurses while offering some healing remedies to their struggling bodies and souls.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the level of compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction among a group of specialized oncology nurses. Besides, this study aimed to detect some probable interesting inferences between compassion satisfaction and the concept of rest and leisure. Correlations between compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction were investigated. Correlations between oncology nurses' scores on the three subscales and a group of demographic, organizational and leisure-related variables were examined. Methods:This study adopted a descriptive correlation design to survey compassion fatigue, burn out and compassion satisfaction among a convenient sample of 100 oncology nurses who work in a specialized cancer care centre. Participants completed compassion fatigue self-test developed by Figely (Compassion fatigue, New York: Brunner/ Mazel. B. HudnallStamm, Traumatic Stress Research Group; 1995-1998. http://www.dartm outh.edu/~bhsta mm/index .htm, 1995) and a literature-based demographic survey. Analysis of data included descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation co-efficient.Results: Nurses reported a low level of compassion satisfaction, moderate risk for burn out and an extremely high risk for compassion fatigue. Results revealed significant negative relationships among compassion satisfaction and the number of dependents per nurse. Additionally the correlation between compassion satisfaction and the nurses' number of hours slept was positive. Only two components of the concept rest and leisure yielded statistical significance when correlated to the concept of compassion satisfaction. A significant negative relationship was observed between compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue while a strong positive relationship was observed between compassion fatigue and burn out. Conclusions:The studied oncology nurses sample had evidently low level of compassion satisfaction when contrasted to the significantly increased risks of burn out and compassion fatigue. Thus, health authorities and management are advised to care, in a holistic approach, for nurses who work in oncology departments. Staff-oriented services that offer comfort, reward, leisure, screening, consultation and support are urgently recommended.
