“…At the same time a correlation was found between the dimensions of quality of working life and the dimensions of DASS-21. Our ndings are consistent with those of the literature regarding the impact of stress, anxiety and depression on the quality of working life and vice versa (Alharbi et al, 2022;Pang et al, 2020;Su et al, 2021). The quality of working life of employees in helping professions is determined by the satisfaction experienced by professionals through the offer to those who receive their services.…”

Background Healthcare professionals work in a demanding working environment, due to which they may develop high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Aims To assess the quality of working life of healthcare professionals and to investigate the association between stress, anxiety and depression and the quality of working life. Methodology: A cross-sectional study implemented in two primary healthcare centers and a general hospital in Greece, between January to February 2020. A total of 248 healthcare professionals participated. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) were used. Results Healthcare professionals had normal stress (10.11), depression (6.69), anxiety (5.10) and appeared to had moderate quality in their working life. The quality of the working life was found to be influenced by educational level, as the level of education increases, occupational burnout (p = 0.015) and secondary traumatic stress (p = 0.001) decrease. Correlation of the demographic characteristics of the sample and the DASS-21 scale showed that as the level of education increases, depression, stress and anxiety decrease (p < 0.05). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that increased depression, anxiety and stress were associated with increased occupational burnout and secondary traumatic stress and on the other hand, decreased depression, anxiety and stress were associated with increased compassion satisfaction. Conclusions The study emphasized the significance of the management of healthcare organizations to achieve a reduction of stress, depression and anxiety among healthcare professionals in order to ensure a better-quality working life.

Background This study examines the professional quality of life (ProQOL), including compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF), burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) among registered nurses in the context of pediatric care in Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. Methods This study utilised a random multistage sampling method and a survey to collect data from 250 participants on personal characteristics, work-related aspects, lifestyle, and professional quality of life. Results The study participants were all female. Only 2.0% were under 25, with 27.2% aged between 25 and 30 years, 24.0% aged between 31 and 35, and 26.4% over 40 years old. The majority, 74%, were non-Saudis. The participants reported low compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF) levels. The CS, burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) scores were 3.23 ± 0.764, 2.75 ± 0.68, and 2.69 ± 0.54, respectively. The study found a significant difference in ProQOL level based on factors such as age, nationality, previous experience, department, shift length, overtime work, state of overtime (mandatory versus optional), and salary. Conclusions Working with vulnerable groups poses unique challenges for pediatric nurses. The nationality, salary, and state of overtime were found to be significantly different when compared to CS scores. Additionally, age, department, previous experience, shift length, and overtime work were very different compared to CF scores. However, lifestyle factors did not affect CS and CF scores significantly. Implications To improve their well-being and interest in activities, pediatric nurses should practice self-compassion and utilise available educational resources such as workshops. They should also strive to achieve a work-life balance and adopt healthy habits to reduce CF.
