Physical activity (PA) is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health, particularly for healthcare professionals like nurses, whose demanding roles can impact their well-being. Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) reflects caregiving roles' positive and negative outcomes, encompassing compassion, satisfaction, burnout, and trauma stress. This study explores the association between physical activity and ProQOL among nurses in Qatar.
A quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), with a sample size of 384, selected from approximately 10,000 nurses. Data was collected via an online survey using validated tools: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL-5). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and ANOVA were applied to analyze associations between PA levels, ProQOL, and various sociodemographic, occupational, and health-related factors.
A total of 430 nurses participated (82.1% female, mean age: 43.3 ± 7.2 years). Most participants reported engaging in low (46.5%) or moderate (51.6%) physical activity levels. Moderate PA was significantly associated with higher ProQOL scores, particularly compassion satisfaction (40.3 ± 6.3), compared to low (36.9 ± 7.2) and high PA levels (38.7 ± 6.9). Burnout showed no significant association with PA levels. Sociodemographic factors, including age and shift patterns, were associated with PA, with moderate PA being more common among slightly older nurses and those working 8-hour shifts.
Moderate physical activity positively associates with nurses' professional quality of life, particularly by enhancing compassion satisfaction. While burnout did not show any significant relationship with PA, other factors like organizational support and work environment may play a more pivotal role. Promoting moderate PA among nurses through workplace interventions and supportive policies could enhance their well-being and caregiving capacity.

身体活动对维持身心健康至关重要，对于护士等医疗保健专业人员尤其如此，他们要求苛刻的工作可能会影响其幸福感。职业生活质量（ProQOL）反映了护理角色的积极和消极结果，包括同情心、满意度、职业倦怠和创伤压力。本研究探讨卡塔尔护士的身体活动与职业生活质量之间的关联。
对哈马德医疗公司（HMC）工作的护士进行了一项定量、分析性横断面研究，样本量为384名，从约10000名护士中选取。通过在线调查使用经过验证的工具收集数据：国际身体活动问卷简表（IPAQ-SF）和职业生活质量量表（ProQOL-5）。应用描述性统计、卡方检验和方差分析来分析身体活动水平、职业生活质量以及各种社会人口学、职业和健康相关因素之间的关联。
共有430名护士参与（82.1%为女性，平均年龄：43.3±7.2岁）。大多数参与者报告身体活动水平低（46.5%）或中等（51.6%）。与低身体活动水平（36.9±7.2）和高身体活动水平（38.7±6.9）相比，中等身体活动与更高的职业生活质量得分显著相关，尤其是同情心满意度（40.3±6.3）。职业倦怠与身体活动水平无显著关联。社会人口学因素，包括年龄和轮班模式，与身体活动有关，中等身体活动在年龄稍大的护士和工作8小时轮班的护士中更为常见。
中等身体活动与护士的职业生活质量呈正相关，特别是通过提高同情心满意度。虽然职业倦怠与身体活动没有任何显著关系，但组织支持和工作环境等其他因素可能发挥更关键的作用。通过工作场所干预和支持性政策促进护士进行中等身体活动，可以提高他们的幸福感和护理能力。
