Structural Causal Relationships between Quality of Work Life and Self-Control with Job Burnout with the Mediation of Self-Compassion and Emotion Regulation Strategies among Police Hospital Nurses.

The purpose of this study was to fitness of causal-structural relationships of quality of work life and self- control with job burnout by mediating self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies in Faraja Corona nurses.

The current research project is applied and descriptive-correlative in nature and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this research was all the nurses working in the infectious disease (Covid-19) department of two military hospitals in Tehran in the winter of 1400. 300 nurses working in the Covid-19 wards were selected from the above statistical population based on available sampling. To measure the variables, burnout inventory of Maslach and et al (1986), quality of work life questionnaire of Walton and et al (1973), self-control scale of Tangney and et al (2004), short form of the self-compassion scale of Raes and et al (2011), cognitive emotion rregulation questionnaire of Garnefski and Kraaij (2007) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equation modelling with using SPSS-24 and AMOS software was investigated.

The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between personality types and adaptive cognitive emotional regulation with job burnout (P <0.01). Also, based on the results of the structural model, the direct paths of this research were significant, and the indirect paths of the quality of work life and self-control through the mediating role of self-compassion and adjustment strategies on job burnout were significant and had a good fit (RMSEA=0/016, P-value<0/05).

Based on the results, each of the components has a direct effect on job burnout, and the quality of work life and self-control components have an indirect effect on nurses' job burnout through the mediation of emotion regulation strategies and self-compassion. Increasing the skill of emotion regulation strategies and self-compassion and knowing the factors affecting self- compassion in nurses is an important step in reducing job burnout and improving the quality of work life and productivity in nurses
