“…According to the results reported by Bahrami, nurses do not have a good quality of life and the highest score belongs to the physical, social, psychological and environmental dimensions, respectively [33]. According to the results of comparison between studies conducted in Iran, the quality of life in Iranian nurses is moderate and low [33,34]. The results of this study show that, the lowest score belonged to the social dimension.…”

BACKGROUND: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, the number of patients admitted to hospitals and the workload of nurses has increased. High workload can reduce efficiency and quality of life. In the meantime the percived social support may had a moderating role. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of workload and perceived social support on quality of life in nurses who work in COVID-19 inpatient wards. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study. 336 nurses who worked in inpatient wards with COVID-19 patients were randomly selected and studied. NASA-TLX Workload Questionnaire, WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire and Multidimensional Social Support Perception Scale were used to data collection. Structural equation modelling in PLS software was used to modelling. RESULTS: The results showed that the average score of workload, perceived social support and quality of life were 80.87±20.17, 56.23±11.46 and 55.87±13.74, respectively. A significant inverse relationship was observed between workload and quality of life (P < 0.05). Also, perceived social support had a moderator effect on relationship between workload and quality of life (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: High workload can upset the balance between work and life that leads to decrease the quality of life. Perceived social support as a moderator can reduce the negative impact of workload on quality of life. In the COVID-19 pandemic where nurses’ workload have increased, by increasing the perceived social support can manage the negative effect of workload.

“… 2 The main impetus was to expand a broader health-oriented approach into the daily activities of hospitals that extended beyond the known limitations of “traditional” acute biomedical models of health. 3 The WHO has developed standards for HPHs including management policy, patient assessment, patient information and intervention, promoting a healthy workplace and continuity and cooperation. 4 In essence, these standards focus on improving the patient’s health, improving the employee’s health, transforming the whole organization’s health-promoting culture and extending that as an outreach to the wider community health.…”

Providing quality healthcare services through health promotion activities to patients, hospital-based professionals and the wider community is the goal of the health promoting hospital (HPH). There is, however, no formal structured pathway for “universally” providing health promotion services in hospitals. Accordingly, this study was conducted with the aim of presenting a model designed to promote and increase health-related satisfaction of hospital-professionals in health-promoting hospitals (HPHs) in Iran—as a potential tool to guide international HPH standards. Lifestyle, quality of life, organizational culture, and job satisfaction were measured using standardized questionnaires in specialized hospitals in Hamadan, Iran. A structural equation model (SEM) using partial least squares (PLS) software (version 2) was used to determine the validity and fit of the conceptual framework/model. The study revealed that several factors were identified as strong predictors of job satisfaction and wellbeing, including various dimensions of lifestyle such as spiritual health, physical activity, stress management, and interpersonal communication, dimensions of quality of life including physical and mental aspects, and organizational culture. The values of predictive relevance ( Q2) for physical and psychological dimension of life quality, organizational culture, and job satisfaction were estimated to be 0.101, 0.250, and 0.040 and 0.251, respectively. Conclusively, the study found a goodness of fit (GOF) value of 0.415, indicating that the model had a high predictive power and fit well. Based on these results, it is suggested that implementing HPH interventions that focus on the outcomes of this model could lead to increased job satisfaction and wellbeing in hospitals. Additionally, the model could serve as a useful indicator of HPHs.
