: This quantitative cross-sectional study examined the relationships between self-efficacy, compassion fatigue, and the quality of nursing work life (QNWL) in primary care nurses from the Dammam and Riyadh regions of Saudi Arabia. This study examined how these factors varied according to gender, education, income, and years of experience. A total of 158 primary care nurses completed validated survey instruments, including the General Self-Efficacy Scale, Professional Quality of Life Scale-Version 5, and Work-Related Quality of Life Scale-2. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The results indicated that participants experienced elevated self-efficacy (M = 29.53, SD = 0.52), moderate compassion fatigue (M = 54.62, SD = 10.16), and moderate overall quality of work life (QWL) (M = 3.26, SD = 0.52). Positive correlations were identified between self-efficacy and QWL ( = 0.250, < 0.05) and compassion satisfaction ( = 0.533, < 0.05). By contrast, compassion fatigue was negatively correlated with QWL ( = -0.259, < 0.05). Notable disparities in QWL were identified according to education level and years of experience, with nurses possessing advanced degrees and those with less experience having elevated QNWL scores. This study highlights the significance of promoting self-efficacy and mitigating compassion fatigue to improve the quality of nursing. Administrators and nurse leaders should consider strategies such as continuous professional development, psychological support, and effective workload management to enhance the well-being and retention of primary care nurses.
这项定量横断面研究考察了沙特阿拉伯达曼和利雅得地区基层护理护士的自我效能感、同情疲劳与护理工作生活质量（QNWL）之间的关系。本研究探讨了这些因素如何因性别、教育程度、收入和工作经验而有所不同。共有158名基层护理护士完成了经过验证的调查工具，包括一般自我效能量表、职业生活质量量表第5版和工作相关生活质量量表-2。描述性统计用于数据分析。结果表明，参与者的自我效能感较高（M = 29.53，SD = 0.52），同情疲劳程度中等（M = 54.62，SD = 10.16），工作生活总体质量（QWL）中等（M = 3.26，SD = 0.52）。自我效能感与QWL（ = 0.250， < 0.05）和同情满意度（ = 0.533， < 0.05）之间存在正相关。相比之下，同情疲劳与QWL呈负相关（ = -0.259， < 0.05）。根据教育水平和工作经验发现了QWL的显著差异，拥有高级学位的护士和经验较少的护士的QNWL得分较高。本研究强调了提高自我效能感和减轻同情疲劳对改善护理质量的重要性。管理人员和护士长应考虑采取持续专业发展、心理支持和有效工作量管理等策略，以提高基层护理护士的幸福感并留住他们。
