Abstract

INTRODUZIONE: La qualití  di vita (QoL) degli individui dipende molto da ciò che accade nei luoghi di lavoro. Le dinamiche e le caratteristiche della professione infermieristica la rendono tra quelle sottoposte a maggiore stress e impegno emotivo.

Measuring Nurses' Quality of Life: adjustment of Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P)

OBIETTIVO: Validare uno strumento per la misurazione della QoL degli infermieri.

METODI: Dopo aver selezionato dalla letteratura uno strumento di misurazione della QoL, ne è stata rivista la modalití  di risposta, quindi è stato avviato uno studio di validazione su un campione di 940 infermieri.

RISULTATI: Lo strumento si è dimostrato valido ed affidabile per la misurazione della QoL degli Infermieri. Dalle analisi sono emerse quattro diverse dimensioni che sono state nominate QoL Fisica, QoL Emotiva, QoL Sociale e QoL Lavorativa. Complessivamente, gli infermieri riferiscono di essere abbastanza soddisfatti della loro qualití  di vita. Sono gli infermieri di specifici ambiti clinici a riferire una minore qualití  di vita. La dimensione lavorativa è quella che incide maggiormente sulla QoL degli infermieri.

CONCLUSIONI: Poter misurare la QoL degli infermieri è importante per la comunití  scientifica e per i dirigenti delle professioni infermieristiche perché consente di indagare un costrutto poco studiato prima e insieme ad altre variabili, può rappresentare un importante valore aggiunto per la valutazione del benessere organizzativo vissuto dagli infermieri nelle aziende sanitarie.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Individuals' quality of life (QoL) is strictly linked with working environment experiences. The peculiarities of nursing profession yield it to be stressful, requiring high emotional engagement.

AIM: The main aim of this study was to validate a reliable tool to measure nurses' QoL.

METHODS: A panel of experts selected a tool from literature to measure QoL. They also modified it to achieve more specific version for nurses. The developed tool (NQoLs) was tested on 940 nurses.

RESULTS: NQoLs was a valid and reliable tool to describe different nuances of QoL. Therefore, four dimensions emerge from psychometrics analysis, which were physical, emotional, social and working QoL. Moreover, the overall nurses' QoL was good but with some significant differences related to the clinical settings of belonging. The working dimension had the major impact on the overall nurses' QoL.

CONCLUSION: NQoLs allows to measure QoL amongst nurses, and that is strategic for both research and management, due to NQoLs can help to face with a number of issues coming from an area with many gaps in knowledge. It should also be helpful to assess QoL in relation with organizational wellbeing amongst nurses.
