Abstract

Objective: To describe QWL and explore some associated factors QWL of healthcare workers at Thong Nhat Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.


Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with healthcare workers by using “Work-related quality of life scale-2” (WRQoL-2) scale with seven aspects including 32 questions. This study applied ANOVA to test for differences.


Results: A total of 307 healthcare workers participated in the survey. Healthcare workers aged 30 - 39 accounted for the highest 45.9%. Female healthcare workers accounted for 77.2%. Among the seven domains, the highest score is “Job and career satisfaction” (3.58 ± 0.62), followed by “Employee engagement” (3.56 ± 0.71), “Working conditions” (3.41 ± 0.73), “Home-work interface” and “Control at work” (3.34 ± 0.79). The domain with the lowest average score is “Stress at work” (2.82 ± 0.62). The variables of age group, sex, marital status, education level, job title, and number of dependents significantly influenced WRQoL (p < 0.05).


Conclusion: The WRQoL-2 scale is suitable for assessing WRQoL of healthcare workers. Policymakers should pay attention to personal characteristics and job title to improve WRQoL of healthcare workers.
