Abstract Background Nursing is a high-risk occupation that involves exposure to stress. The physical and mental health of nurses is directly related to the quality of medical services, so the quality of life of nurses cannot be ignored. This study is a Chinese nursing study that investigated occupational stress, job burnout, and quality of life of surgical nurses in Xinjiang, China. Methods This study employed the cluster random sampling method and carried out a questionnaire survey among 488 surgical nurses from five hospitals from May 2019 to September 2019. The study analyzed the relationship between occupational stress, job burnout and quality of life. The Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire (ERI), Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used to evaluate occupational stress, job burnout and quality of life among surgical nurses. Results A total of 550 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 488 were retrieved, with an effective recovery rate of 88.73 %. The results revealed that the quality of life score among surgical nurses was not high, and differences were observed in the quality of life score of patients according to gender, age, title, and frequency of night shifts (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between occupational stress and job burnout. Higher levels of occupational stress and job burnout were associated with a poorer quality of life score. Occupational stress and job burnout were identified as risk factors for quality of life, and the interaction between high levels of stress and burnout seriously reduced quality of life. The structural equation model revealed that occupational stress and job burnout had a direct impact on quality of life, occupational stress had a direct impact on job burnout, and job burnout was identified as a mediating factor in the relationship between occupational stress and quality of life. Conclusions Surgical nurses have a high level of occupational stress and burnout, and low quality of life score. Quality of life is correlated with occupational stress and job burnout. According to the individual characteristics and psychological state of nurses, managers can implement personalized intervention measures promptly and effectively to relieve their tension and burnout, and improve the quality of life of surgical nurses.

Abstract Background: Occupational burnout among nurses is one of the major factors which affect the quality of nursing care. Assessing the relationship between burnout and its associated factors is one of the most basic things that should be done so that later, actions can be taken to reduce burnout. Fear of COVID-19 is one of the factors that can increase burnout of nurses during the Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic.Aim: To investigate the relationship between job burnout and fear of COVID-19 among ICU and CCU nurses.Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) were distributed to ICU and CCU nurses (n = 170) at Shahid Madani Cardiac Hospital, Tabriz, Iran, and the correlation between job burnout and fear of COVID-19 was calculated.Results: The results show that the level of emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment among participants of this study is average, and depersonalization is at a low level. Also, the level of fear of coronavirus is below average among the respondents. The research showed that emotional exhaustion and fear of COVID-19 were positively correlated (p < 0.05), but there was not any significant correlation between depersonalization and fear of Coronavirus; as the relationship between reduced personal accomplishment and fear of COVID-19. In addition, there were significant correlations between age and reduced personal accomplishment, as well as marital status and reduced personal accomplishment (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the results showed that there were not any significant correlations between gender and burnout dimensions, nor between educational degree and burnout dimensions.Conclusion: As job burnout reduces the quality of nursing care, managers must take strategies that reduce job burnout. One of the strategies that they can take is to reduce the fear of COVID-19 by taking wise strategies.

This study examined how job burnout was associated with sick-leave absence and quality of life in a sample of 487 nurses working in the National Health Care System. Burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory, while quality of life was measured with Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Data on sick leaves were collected from hospital personnel records. Logistic regression indicated that levels of burnout (emotional exhaustion) were significant predictors of short-term (but not long-term) sickness absence. Long-term sickness absence could be predicted by poor physical health. The findings indicate that burnout not only may negatively impact on quality of life of health-care providers, but also may influence short sick leaves. Implications for the implementation of absence reduction programs are discussed.

This research aimed to investigate the differences between individual factors affecting quality of life (QOL) for people conducting community-based tourism (CBT). A sample size of 200 comprised people in CBT, Thailand. The data were collected to achieve the research objective by studying the personal profiles of people in CBT including sex, age, education, occupation and income affecting quality of life. Other factors included physical conditions of individuals, psychological state, perception of the relationship between individuals and others and environment. The research employed descriptive and inferential statistics, the F test (one-way ANOVA), to evaluate the data. The results revealed that only education factor significantly differed at level 0.05. Conversely, the factors sex, age, occupation and income showed no significant differences at level 0.05. The result of a study indicates educational level was essential for QOL. Therefore, education, as the most significant factor, should be set as a priority to lead the planning process in various aspects of QOL. Even the community and society need to focus on educational factors leading to a higher QOL. The contribution of this research was to enhance education in society, particularly in CBT to all individuals in the community to obtain greater opportunity to equally access education.
