Work dissatisfaction, burnout and workforce shortage are major problems in healthcare globally, all of which are associated with QWL. Previous studies have found that the QWL of healthcare professionals is moderate or low. The aim was to describe the quality of working life (QWL) of employees working in public healthcare and describe the association between QWL and background variables.
This study had a quantitative cross-sectional survey design.
Data was collected from the employees of a Finnish healthcare organization in autumn 2021 using an online questionnaire (n = 837). Convenience sampling was used in the selection of the healthcare organization. The study was reported according to STROBE guidelines.
The QWL was moderate, and the mean QWL index calculated from the questionnaire responses was 0.524. The QWL index was lowest in healthcare professionals and highest in upper management, with some dissatisfaction towards leadership noted.
工作不满、倦怠和劳动力短缺是全球医疗保健领域的主要问题,所有这些问题都与生活质量有关。先前的研究发现,医疗保健专业人员的生活质量中等或较低。本研究旨在描述在公共医疗保健机构工作的员工的工作生活质量(QWL),并描述 QWL 与背景变量之间的关系。
本研究采用定量的横断面调查设计。
2021 年秋季,使用在线问卷(n=837)从芬兰医疗保健组织的员工中收集数据。该医疗保健组织的选择采用了便利抽样法。本研究根据 STROBE 指南进行了报告。
生活质量中等,从问卷回答中计算得出的生活质量指数平均值为 0.524。医疗保健专业人员的生活质量指数最低,高层管理人员的生活质量指数最高,对领导层的满意度较低。
