Description

The current research investigation was undertaken to understand the relationship of professional quality of life of nurses with self-efficacy, empathy and aggression. Professional quality of life is the quality one feels in relation to their work as a helper (Stamm 2010). It includes the positive component of compassion satisfaction and two negative components of burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Nursing professionals with 6-8 years of work experience and employed in Punjab, India were taken for the purpose of the study. Fantasy seeking was found to be a positive predictor of compassion satisfaction explaining 4% of variance. Self-efficacy and empathic concern were found to be negative predictors while verbal aggression was found to be a positive predictor of burnout. Together the three predictors accounted for 17% of variance in burnout. Personal distress was a positive predictor of secondary traumatic stress explaining 8% of variance. Implications are discussed with in light of professional quality of life of nurses who hold a considerable amount of work experience in the nursing profession. 2021 Ecological Society of India.
