Abstract:

Objective To systematically review the professional quality of life among Chinese nurses. Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CINHAL,PsycINFO,CNKI,SinoMed,Wanfang and VIP databases were searched to collect articles on nurses’ professional quality of life published before December 2020. The articles that met the inclusion criteria was evaluated according to the evaluation criteria of cross-sectional study recommended by JBI. Meta-analysis was performed by Stata 16.0 software. Results A total of 23 articles involving 10 681 nurses were included. The Meta-analysis showed that scores of compassion satisfaction,burnout,and secondary trauma three dimensions of professional quality of life were 32.51[95%CI(32.08,32.94)],25.81[95%CI(25.04,26.57)], and 25.77[95%CI(24.93,26.61)],respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that in compassion satisfaction dimension,nurses with higher job satisfaction and better health scored higher. For the burnout dimension,nurses with abnormal health and lower job satisfaction scored higher. Compared with those with master degree or above,nurses with associate and bachelor degrees scored higher. Divorced nurses scored higher in burnout dimension than unmarried and married nurses. For the secondary trauma dimension,the differences among groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion The compassion satisfaction,burnout and secondary trauma of clinical nurses in China are at moderate level. Nursing managers should pay more attention to nurses’ physical and mental health,and improve their professional life quality as well as job satisfaction.
