The relationship between self-efficacy and health hardiness with the quality of work life of nurses working in the COVID-19 ward
As nurses are in close contact with patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), they are more susceptible to infection and spread of the virus. Limited clinical knowledge of the COVID-19 virus and the lack of adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) and lack of medical and personal protective equipmentmay lead to low work morale, absenteeism, apathy, and poor performance in nurses. Therefore, the emotional problems of nurses during the COVID-19 epidemic deserve more attention.This study was conducted to investigate self-efficacy and its relationship with health hardiness and quality of work life in nurses.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 219 nurses working in hospitals (Tohid, Kowsar, and Be’sat hospitals) of Sanandaj City,Iran,in November 2021. The sampling method was proportional stratified random method. Questionnaires of demographic information, self-efficacy, health hardiness, and quality of work life were completed by nurses. Data analysiswas performed using descriptive statistics tests, independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression.The data were analyzed in SPSS software.
The quality of work life of 81.3% of participants was reported as moderate and 18.7% was reported as very good. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that the relationship between self-efficacy and health hardiness was significant and there was a positive correlation between the two variables (P <0.001, r= 0.539).
Given the low level of nurses' self-efficacy and its relationship with health hardiness, there is a need to promote nurses' self-efficacy and health hardiness for health professionals.
