Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the quality of work life (QoWL) and working conditions of oncology nurses in Turkey. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. The data were collected via the introductory information form and Brooks' Quality of Nursing Work Life Survey. The study was completed with 138 nurses. The factors affecting QoWL were determined using stepwise multiple linear regression. Nurses had a moderate QoWL, and age, duration of working in nursing, the number of nurses, and the working style were significantly associated with QoWL. To improve the QoWL, the nurses' socio-demographic factors should be considered and working conditions should be improved. Furthermore, well-designed institutional policies should be developed to improve the patient-nurse ratio and provide a quality healthcare.What this paper adds?In the current study, Turkish oncology nurses had a moderate quality of work life.Age, duration of working in the nursing, the number of nurses in the unit and the working style were linked to work-related quality of life in oncology nurses.Well-designed institutional policies should be developed to improve the working conditions and to increase work-related quality of life in oncology nurses.

肿瘤护士的工作生活质量和工作条件:一项全国在线描述性横断面研究。

本研究的目的是检查土耳其肿瘤护士的工作生活质量(QoWL)和工作条件。本研究采用描述性横断面设计。数据通过介绍性信息表和布鲁克斯护理工作生活质量调查收集。该研究由138名护士完成。采用逐步多元线性回归确定影响QoWL的因素。护士的QoWL为中等水平，年龄、从事护理工作时间、护士人数、工作方式与QoWL显著相关。要提高护士的生活质量，需要考虑护士的社会人口因素，改善工作条件。此外，应制定精心设计的制度政策，以改善病人与护士的比例，并提供高质量的医疗保健。这篇文章补充了什么?在目前的研究中，土耳其肿瘤护士的工作生活质量中等。年龄、护理工作时间、单位护士人数和工作方式与肿瘤护士工作相关的生活质量有关。应制定精心设计的制度政策，以改善肿瘤护士的工作条件，提高与工作相关的生活质量。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
