The professional quality of life of nurses during the covid-19 pandemic and impacts on mental and physical health
Summary:
The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) is essentially a questionnaire designed to measure compassion fatigue, job satisfaction, and burnout. It is a valuable tool for healthcare professionals, including psychologists, nurses, social workers, and others. This scale is particularly useful for professionals who have experienced significant emotional work-related pressure or have been exposed to traumatic situations.
Professional quality of life refers to the quality an individual feels in relation to their work. These experiences have both positive and negative aspects, significantly affecting their professional quality of life. The ProQOL measures three key aspects of professional life (Stamm, 2010):
Compassion Fatigue: The emotional and physical exhaustion experienced by professionals who are consistently exposed to individuals in distress. This fatigue stems from the emotional strain of continuously providing support to others.
Compassion Satisfaction: The sense of fulfillment and satisfaction derived from helping others and contributing positively to their well-being.
Burnout: Chronic stress associated with the work environment, characterized by feelings of exhaustion, frustration, and reduced effectiveness.
The ProQOL has proven especially beneficial for healthcare professionals and those working in demanding care-related professions. It helps assess the impact of work on individuals facing intense emotional pressure or exposure to traumatic experiences.
By understanding the positive and negative dimensions of professional life, the ProQOL provides valuable insights for managing work-related stress and improving the quality of life for professionals
