Background: The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HqOL)
of nurses working in three different types of hospitals in Bangalore: trust,
government, and private. Nurses are in charge of giving social and emotional
support as well as medical treatment to patients in hospitals. Investigating
the health and well-being of nursing professionals allows us to have a better
understanding of the impact of their job and surroundings on their health and
well-being. The degree to which an individual is capable of feeling health on
bodily, emotional, and psychological levels is referred to as well-being.
In a
cross-sectional field study, nurses working in three different types of
hospitals were given the health-related QoL (SF-12v2) questionnaire. The poll
included 115 healthy nurses aged 21 to 50 who were chosen at random. To assign
the questionnaire and gather data, the nurses were personally met in small
groups. Each of the 12 items on the scale has a different option and a number
ranging from 1 to 5. The final product compares the health and well-being of
the respondents in each of the three groups.
Results: Nurses'
mental health and well-being received a lower-than-average score in Trust and
Private hospitals, which was significantly lower than nurses in Government
hospitals. While physical health and well-being were found to be below average
but not statistically significant in all three types of hospitals, nurses had a
stronger impact on mental well-being (P0.01).
Conclusion: In
order to improve the health of nurses and consequently their productivity,
hospital administrators and healthcare consultants must develop better work
conditions.
