AB The objective of this research was to analyse the quality of life of nursing professionals andits relationship with socio-demographic variables and the work context. A multi-centre, descriptive,cross-sectional design was used. Questionnaires were administered to 1521 nurses working in theAndalusian Public Health System (APHS), Spain. Professional quality of life (ProQOL v. IV) wasmeasured, as well as several socio-demographic and work-related variables. To this end, a descriptiveanalysis and multiple exploratory analyses were conducted. The levels of compassion fatigue (CF)and burnout (BO) were elevated. The level of compassion satisfaction (CS) was below the estimatedmean. Marital status, the healthcare setting, the area where the centre is located, and the work shiftare variables associated with CF. According to the multiple linear regression model, the predictingfactors for the occurrence of CF were being married, working in primary care, in urban areas, andworking a morning/evening/night shift. The variables related to CS were the professional’s age, sex,marital status, the healthcare setting of the centre, the location of the centre, and the work shift.Specifically, according to the exploratory model, the factors that predicted a reduction in CS wereworking in primary care, in urban areas, and working a morning/evening/night shift. However, beingdivorced increased CS. BO was influenced only by the work shift. Nursing professionals are exposedto certain factors that may influence professional quality of life. Some of these factors are related tothe work context.
