Abstract

aim: to investigate the simultaneous effects of work-related stress and job satisfaction on cardiovascular nurses' quality of work life. background: prior research has investigated nurses' work-related stress, job satisfaction, and quality of work life as separate aspects and not in specific nursing settings, such as cardiovascular wards. cardiovascular care settings can be particularly stressful for nurses, who are often faced with distress, depression and patients and caregivers' physical and psychological exhaustion. methods: a multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 1126 cardiovascular nurses from 10 hospitals in Italy. work-related stress, job satisfaction, and quality of work life were measured using valid and reliable questionnaires. structural equation modeling was performed. results: nurses working in critical cardiac care units experienced more stress than their colleagues working in other cardiac units. nurses working in cardiac outpatient clinics reported lower quality of work life than those working in other cardiac settings. there was a negative relationship between work-related stress and nurses' quality of work life, which was partially mediated by job satisfaction, indicating that stress generated by the work environment negatively affect nurses' quality of work life by reducing their job satisfaction. conclusion: cardiovascular nurses' quality of work life is negatively affected by work-related stress. the workrelated stress is mediated through job satisfaction. nurse managers should maximize nurses' job satisfaction by providing comfort at work, supporting professional development opportunities, sharing organizational objectives, and actively listening and addressing nurses' concerns. when cardiovascular nurses' quality of work life is elevated, patients' care quality and outcomes are improved.
