BACKGROUND/AIM: Pharmacists are one of the most essential healthcare professionals, with substantial clinical knowledge and skills in the use of medications. Pharmacists provide patient care services and contribute to the enhancement of health outcomes, which increases their workload. This study was conducted to determine the association between intention to leave work and quality of work life (QWL) of pharmacists in Saudi Arabia.
This cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire provided as a paper-based survey using two scales (the Work-related Quality of Life [QoL] and Intention to Leave scales). In addition, this was combined with demographics to determine the relationship between intention to leave work and quality of work-life. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests.
A total of 284 were completed and returned. The average age and annual income of the respondents were 33.4 ± 6.5 years and 196,401 ± 82,306. SAR, respectively and 61.2% and 38.% were male and female, respectively, whereas 62.% were married and 53.% reported having children. The multiple linear regression analysis conducted showed a significant negative relationship between QWL and the intention to leave work (β = -0.131; 95% CI, -0.185 to -0.076).
We found a significant association between the QWL and intention to leave. This indicates that a greater intention to leave was associated with a low or lousy QWL among Saudi pharmacists.
背景/目的：药剂师是最重要的医疗保健专业人员之一，在药物使用方面拥有丰富的临床知识和技能。药剂师提供患者护理服务并有助于改善健康结果，这增加了他们的工作量。本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯药剂师的离职意愿与工作生活质量（QWL）之间的关联。
本横断面研究使用自行填写的问卷进行，该问卷以纸质调查形式提供，采用两个量表（工作相关生活质量[QoL]量表和离职意愿量表）。此外，还结合了人口统计学信息来确定离职意愿与工作生活质量之间的关系。使用描述性和分析性统计测试对数据进行分析。
共完成并返回了284份问卷。受访者的平均年龄和年收入分别为33.4±6.5岁和196,401±82,306沙特里亚尔，男性和女性分别占61.2%和38.8%，62.4%已婚，53.5%育有子女。进行的多元线性回归分析显示，工作生活质量与离职意愿之间存在显著的负相关关系（β = -0.131；95%置信区间，-0.185至-0.076）。
我们发现工作生活质量与离职意愿之间存在显著关联。这表明沙特药剂师中较高的离职意愿与较低或较差的工作生活质量相关。
