Sažetak
Introduction. Quality of work life is a multidimensional construct consisting of several mutually linked factors, such as job satisfaction, commitment to work, motivation, work efficiency, work safety, improvement of abilities and work-life balance.
Aim. The aim of this paper was to determine the quality of work life in nurses employed in intensive care and anesthesiology units, as well as to determine whether there is a difference in the quality of work life regarding gender, education, years of service, workplace, and way of working.
Methods and respondents. A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2021. The study was conducted by using a socio-demographic data questionnaire and the Brooks Quality of Nursing Work Life Survey which consists of 42 items divided into 4 subscales. 102 respondents employed in intensive care and anesthesiology units at the UHC Zagreb and UHC Sestre milosrdnice participated in the study.
Results. The questionnaire was filled in by 102 respondents, and the overall results show that nurses assess the quality of their work life as being moderate. Looking at every subscale separately, nurses assessed the quality of work life as being moderate in the work life/home life, work design and work world subscales. In the work context subscale, nurses have assessed their quality of work life as being high. No statistically significant difference was found concerning gender, education, years of service, workplace, and way of working.
