“…Although the working environment among Greek nurses, as well as the Work-Related Quality of Life (WrQoL), which refers to the conveniences or inconveniences of the workplace from the employees' point of view, 26 and hospital ethical climate (HEC), which is defined as a mental structure which is understood by common, fixed, and significant understandings, 27 have been investigated, there is a gap in the literature regarding the effect of the HEC on the WrQoL among nurses, especially in Greece. 9,28,29 In the international literature, there are no studies that investigate the correlation between these two variables. Most of the studies are focused on the relationship of HEC with nurses' professional values, 30 moral sensitivity, 31 interprofessional collaboration, 32 the job satisfaction, 33 or in the relationship between WrQoL with work ability, 34 occupational stress, 35 and job burn out.…”

Background: Hospital ethical climate (HEC) has been associated with nurses' interprofessional collaboration, moral decision-making and judgment, job satisfaction, and job burnout.Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of hospitals' ethical climate on nurses' quality of working life.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed and 286 nurses from two hospitals in Athens participated in the study from January to February 2020. The data collected using a three-part self-administrated questionnaire were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences 25 (SPSS).Results: According to the results, the staff nurses working on rotating shifts reported poorer Work-Related Quality of Life (WrQoL). Positive correlations were observed between age, control at work, and home-work interface, between the period of time the nurses were working in a specific department with the dimensions of the ethical climate scale, and between almost all the HEC aspects with WRQoL subscales. Only the domain of stress at work had fewer and less significant correlations.Conclusions: Health authorities and hospital managers should provide the necessary ground for the institutionalization of professional ethics by creating an appropriate ethical climate. A positive ethical climate may lead to a better working environment with less distress for health professionals and better quality of care for the patients.
