There was different impact on the quality of life due to different personal characteristics or feeling on job. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the quality of life and related factors on junior nurses in medical institutions.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. We recruited the nurses working in medical institutions with experience between six months to two years. Data was collected by the structured anonymous online questionnaire, including demographic information, practice status, job characteristics, perceived stress and quality of life. Data was analyzed by SPSS20.0.
Results: Total of 111 completed questionnaires were collected after excluding 3 male participants. Most of the participants were unmarried (89.2%), under the age of 25 years old (72.1%), with the university education level (86.5%). Over 70% participants worked 40 or over hours per week with the abnormal schedule. About 70% of nurses worked in non- acute severe units, and had annual salary of less than 500,000NT＄. 20.7% of nurses had the feeling of bullying in the workplace. Nurses grouped in "High pressure type" and "High perceived stress group" were 36.0% and 34.2%, respectively. 60.4% of nurses perceived their general quality of life as medium. The lowest and highest score in quality of life were the psychological domain (49.0) and the physical domain (55.0). The low grouped of the physical health, psychological, social and environmental domains were 37.8%, 37.8%, 27.0% and 25.2%.The factors related to the low quality of life of the junior nurses were workplace bullying, work stress, perceived stress, supervisor support, colleague support, educational level, and working unit. After adjusting potential confounders, the perceived stress and workplace bullying were the significant factors of the low quality of life of the junior nurses in medical Institutions.
Conclusion: Junior nurses in medical institutions perceived their general quality of life and general health status as medium. The perceived stress and workplace bullying were related to low quality of life. It is essential to provide appropriate intervention to improve the quality of life on junior nurses in future.
