Fatores preditores de qualidade de vida no trabalho da equipe de enfermagem: identificação de elementos orientadores para elaboração de um protocolo de intervenção

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The systematization of nursing care aims to develop health strategies, empowering professionals and managers to address health problems. Nurses face stress that affects their quality of life, influenced by physical, psychological, and social factors, and require better working conditions. Care is based on scientific evidence and aims to promote well-being and occupational health, preventing illnesses such as burnout syndrome. Management should prioritize health promotion, and there is an urgent need to invest in policies and training to meet the demands of nursing professionals. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify the factors that affect the quality of work life (QWL) of nursing professionals. It is essential to analyze how issues related to the QWL of these healthcare workers directly impact the results and excellence of the care they provide. METHODOLOGY: This study consists of an integrative literature review (ILR). Data collection was carried out through consultations of the databases SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online, Lilacs - Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, CAPES Journals and Google, covering the period from 2015 to 2024, with full access and in Portuguese. RESULTS: There is a clear need for more effective public policies and occupational health practices to reduce occupational risks and improve working conditions. This includes reducing working hours, increasing salaries, creating a healthy and productive work environment, offering training and continuing education, as well as implementing measures to reduce workload. Valuing nursing professionals is essential for the well-being of the team, which, in turn, improves the quality of health services offered to patients and the quality of work life for these professionals. In short, the quality of work life of nursing professionals is influenced by several factors, such as the nature of professional responsibilities, workload, salary, interpersonal relationships, devaluation, discrimination, moral harassment, lack of adequate resources, among others.
