Nurse’s Wellbeing at Work & Quality Nursing Care: The Case of Hospitals In Lebanon

Abstract

Our purpose in this research is to find if there is a relationship between the wellbeing at work of nurses in Lebanese hospitals and their quality nursing care. Our study is a correlational study where we will see the correlation between the wellbeing at work and the quality nursing care of nurses at Lebanese hospitals. It is a quantitative study as well.

Our sample consists of 160 nurses from 23 hospitals in Lebanon. By using the F test, we showed that there is significance at  = 0.05. The quality nursing care Y is dependent on the wellbeing at work of nurses (Xi). Second, while testing for significance using the t Test, we concluded that there is a relationship between the variables Xi. Using the stepwise regression analysis, we kept only two variables (the level of agreement that the work of the nurse has grown more interesting in the last year and the level of agreement that the nurse has enough opportunity to discuss patient problems with colleagues).Finally, using the factor analysis technique (FA), we extracted 4 principal components that explained 78.73% of the variability. The 4 principal components are: Working effectively in a team, Self-image satisfaction, Job satisfaction, and Work Performance.In the last part, we concluded that there is a relationship between the wellbeing at work of nurses in Lebanese hospitals and their quality nursing care.
