Background:
Nurses work in a high-stress environment, with 40% experiencing moderate or higher levels of stress and
higher levels of anxiety and depression than the general population. According to WHO 2020 data, the incidence of de
pression and anxiety among nurses is 2-3 times higher than that of the general population.
Aim:
To identify factors that affect the psychological state of nurses.
Materials and Methods:
Using a cross sectional study design, a questionnaire was administered to 262 nurses at the
International Mongolian Hospital in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The survey was conducted using 18
general demographic and social factor questionnaires, 26 WHOQOL-BREF quality of life questionnaires, and 21 items
with a scale of depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21), a total of 65 questionnaires. The study was conducted using
SPSS 29.0 software to statistically analyze the data.
Results:
The physical domain of quality of life score of the study participants was 50.5±7.8, psychological domain of
quality of life score was 54.1±8.7, social domain factor’s score was 58.2±10.5, and environmental factor’s score was
52.3±10.4. Depression, anxiety, and stress’s score were 9.0±8.8, 9.3±8.6, and 11.9±9.2, respectively. The relationship
between nurse’s depression, anxiety, and stress and quality of life was significantly inversely correlated (p<0.01). Nurse’s
age, working years, number of children, number of beds per ward per nurse, and hours of sleep at night increased depres
sion, anxiety, and stress (p<0.05).
Conclusion
1. Psychological indicators such as depression, anxiety, and stress among nurses are reducing their quality of life.
2. In addition, factors such as the nurses’ age, years of service, number of children, number of people on a daily shift,
and sleep time per day are also factors that affect psychological well-being.
