ABSTRACT
Introduction: Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) relates to comfort and satisfaction in a profession. Health care providers are exposed to great level of stress and traumatic events in their job. This study aimed at de-termining the ProQOL of health care providers in Bishnupur district. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted among health care providers of Bishnupur district, Ma-nipur during 24 January- 24 February 2021. The participants were 153 healthcare providers from district hospital, CHCs and PHCs using a convenience method. The instrument for collecting data consisted of “Profes-sional Quality of Life Measure version 5(ProQOL-5)” questionnaire. Chi square test and Pearson’s r correlation was used for analysis. Results: Mean age of the participants was 37.54 + 9.1 years. The mean values for the domain compassion sat-isfaction (CS), secondary traumatic stress (STS), burnout (BO) was 36.7 + 5.2, 23.2+ 4.5 and 23.3 + 5.6 respec-tively. BO and STS were positively correlated. There was no significant association between other domains. Participants who had night shifts had more BO level compared to others. Conclusion: Majority of the participants had moderate CS and STS. Those having prolonged duty hours expe-rienced more burnout compared to others.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To describe current status and analyze influencing factors of professional quality of life among nurses in the department of hematology and oncology in tertiary grade A children's hospitals, so as to provide some reference for improving the professional quality of life among nurses in the department of pediatric hematological oncology.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. By convenient sampling method, the General Data Scale, Professional Quality of Life Scale and Practice Environment Scale were used to investigate 205 nurses in the department of hematology and oncology in 4 tertiary grade A children's hospitals. Influencing factors of professional quality of life among nurses were analyzed by multiple linear regression.Results:Nurses in the department of pediatric hematological oncology with a low level of compassion satisfaction, high level of burnout and secondary trauma stress accounted for 21.0%(43/205), 26.3%(54/205) and 36.6%(75/205), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that mental health counseling, family supporting and nurses participating in hospital affairs entered into the multiple regression equation of compassion satisfaction ( t=2.08, 4.21, 2.34, all P<0.05), which explained 60.3% of the total variety. Family supporting, turnover intention, sufficient manpower and materials, age and number of children entered into the multiple regression equation of burnout ( t values were -4.42-2.33, all P<0.05), which explained 55.8% of the total variety. Family supporting, sufficient manpower and materials, age entered into the multiple regression equation of secondary trauma stress ( t=-2.37, -2.22, 2.82, all P<0.05), which explained 15.3% of the total variety. Conclusions:The professional quality of life among nurses in the department of pediatric hematology and oncology needs to be improved. Nursing managers should learn from advanced management concepts, actively improve the nursing practice environment of hematology and oncology department, increase the number of nurses, encourage nurses to participate in hospital affairs, attach importance to emotional support for nurses, and carry out regular mental health counseling, continuously improve the quality of professional life of nurses.
ABSTRACT
【Objective:】 To understand the current situation of nurses’ professional quality of life in China and its correlation with benefit findings, so as to provide reference for formulating targeted measures to improve nurses’ professional quality of life in China. 【Methods:】 Questionnaire star was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 11 924 registered nurses in China from January 2022 to April 2022 using the General Information Questionnaire, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) and the General Benefit Discovery Scale (GBFS). SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. 【Results:】 The scores of various dimensions of nurses’ ProQOL scale were: compassion satisfaction was (32.71±6.81) points, burnout was (27.38±5.20) points, secondary traumatic stress was (28.44±6.67) points, and the total score of GBFS was (100.90±18.04) points. The results of multiple linear stepwise regression showed that the main influencing factors of compassion satisfaction were marital status, position, work unit level and educational background (P<0.05). The main influencing factors of burnout were position, professional title, work unit level and whether there were children to be taken care of at home (P<0.05). The main influencing factors of secondary traumatic stress were education background, marital status, professional title, whether there was an old person to be taken care of at home, whether to take care of COVID-19 patients, whether to be an epidemic support staff and position (P<0.05). Benefit finding independently predicted the three dimensions of nurses’ professional quality of life (P<0.001). 【Conclusions:】 Chinese nurses’ professional quality of life was at a moderate level and it was significantly affected by benefit finding. Attention should be paid to factors such as marital status, work unit level, position, professional title, education background, whether there was an old person to be taken care of at home, whether to take care of COVID-19 patients, so as to improve the level of nurses’ benefit finding, promote their personal growth, provide good job guarantee, and improve Chinese nurses’ professional quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Background. Professional quality of life, measured as compassion satisfaction, is a prerequisite for nurses working in intensive care units where patients rely on their care. Nurses who experience compassion satisfaction, or good professional quality of life, engage enthusiastically with all work activities and render quality patient care. In contrast, compassion fatigue eventually leads to disengagement from work activities and unsatisfactory patient outcomes. In this study, we described the demographic factors influencing professional quality of life of intensive care nurses working in public hospitals in Gauteng, South Africa (SA), during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective. To describe the demographic factors associated with professional quality of life of critical care nurses working in Gauteng, SA. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, we used total population sampling and invited all nurses who had worked for at least 1 year in one of the critical care units of three selected public hospitals in Gauteng to participate. One-hundred and fifty-four nurses responded and completed the ProQol-5 tool during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results. The nurses' average age was 45 years, and 59.1% (n=91) had an additional qualification in critical care nursing. Most of the nurses had a diploma (51.3%; n=79), with a mean work experience of 12.56 years. The main demographic variables that influenced professional quality of life were years of work experience (p=0.047), nurses' education with specific reference to a bachelor's degree (p=0.006) and nurse-patient ratio (p<0.001). Conclusions. Nurses working in critical care units in public hospitals in Gauteng experienced low to moderate compassion satisfaction, moderate to high burnout and secondary traumatic stress, suggesting compassion fatigue. The high workload, which may have been associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, influenced nurses' professional quality of life.

Background and Objective@#The burden of caring for others comes naturally for healthcare providers particularly nurses as this is part of their altruistic nature. The right balance of caring for others and self-care is key to a healthy professional quality of life (ProQOL) which encompasses Compassion Satisfaction and prevents Burnout (BO) and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). With the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in higher morbidity and mortality, the demands of the healthcare system on nurses are overwhelming. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, and the related factors of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress among nurses in a government facility during a pandemic@*Method@#This was a cross-sectional descriptive study which utilized a validated Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) selfadministered questionnaire measuring Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress (Stamm, 2010). The survey was conducted from June 1-30, 2020 among a sample size of 204 qualified and willing nurses who signed an informed consent. All data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and parametric statistical tests (T-test and ANOVA). Statistical significance was at 99% CI and p-value of 0.05.@*Results@#A total of 204 qualified and willing nurses were included in the study. Majority of the respondents belonged to the 2035 years of age bracket. Sixty-seven percent were female, married (54%); with no children (50%); finished BSN (91%); currently holding a Nurse II position (34%) with less than 5 years government service (56%) and with less than 5 years of field experience (58%). Seventy-seven percent (77%) did not have pre-existing diseases while 33% had either Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Bronchial Asthma and other non-communicable diseases. Overall ProQOL mean scores ranged from average to high compassion satisfaction; low to average Burnout; and low to average Secondary Traumatic Stress. Related factors found significant at p vale 0.05 or less were areas of rotation and years in the field of practice@*Conclusion@#The study showed that the mean scores of the nurse respondents’ ProQOL encompassing Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress indicate a healthy ProQOL from June 1-30, 2020. Areas of rotation and years in the field of practice are statistically significant in relation to ProQOL mean scores. All other factors are not statistically significant correlates

Em estudos envolvendo profissões de ajuda, especificamente, a Qualidade de Vida Profissional (QVP) refere-se a quanto o indivíduo se sente bem por ajudar a atenuar o sofrimento alheio. Tal sensação resulta do equilíbrio psicológico entre as experiências positivas no trabalho (satisfação por compaixão) e negativas (fadiga por compaixão). O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a qualidade de vida profissional em uma amostra de profissionais de saúde que trabalham em hospitais públicos nas cidades de João Pessoa e Campina Grande (PB). Utilizaram-se como instrumentos o Professional Quality of Life Scale ProQOL - IV (validado em estudo local) e uma ficha sociodemográfica. Os dados foram lançados no programa Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), por meio do qual foram efetuadas estatísticas descritivas (média, porcentagem e desvio-padrão) e análise de Clusters. Os resultados identificaram três perfis de QVP: equilibrado, deficitário e moderado. O primeiro e o último perfil estão com a QVP preservada; em contraste, o grupo com perfil deficitário destacou-se como o mais preocupante, visto que foi o único a apresentar indícios da fadiga por compaixão, provavelmente decorrente da excessiva carga horária de trabalho. Como a satisfação por compaixão foi dominante em todos os grupos, e a fadiga por compaixão atingiu apenas 25% da amostra, pode-se concluir que a maioria dos profissionais da saúde possui boa qualidade de vida profissional, sendo tal qualidade sustentada pelo prazer de sentir-se socialmente útil por salvar vidas...
Specifically, in studies concerning care professionals, Professional Quality of Life (PQL) refers to how much the individual feels good by helping to diminish the suffering of others. This sensation results in the psychological balance between the job's positive (Compassion Satisfaction) and negative (Compassion Fatigue) experiences. The objective of this research is to evaluate the professional quality of life of a sample of health care professionals that work in public hospitals in João Pessoa and Campina Grande (PB). We used as instruments: the Professional Quality of Life Scale - ProQOL - IV (validated in a local study) and a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program, from which we obtained descriptive statistics (average, percentage, and standard deviation), and cluster analysis. Results identified three PQL profiles: Balanced, Deficient, and Moderate. The first and last profiles have their PQL preserved; in contrast, the Deficient profile group stood out as the most worrisome, since it was the only one to present evidence of Compassion Fatigue, probably due to their excessive workload. Since Compassion Satisfaction was dominant in every group, and Compassion Fatigue affected only 25 percent of the sample, we can conclude that most health care professionals have a good professional quality of life, and this quality is sustained by the pleasure of feeling socially useful when saving lives...
