Abstract

Background: Clinical dependence and the quality of the work life of nurses can affect nurses’ motivation and, consequently, the quality of nursing care and patients’ health. Explaining the causes related to health promotion is one of the primary goals of health services. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between clinical dependence and quality of work life for Iranian nurses working in intensive care units. Materials and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study conducted on 126 nurses working in the adult intensive care units (ICU) of Yasuj hospitals in 2023. The participants were selected by census. Clinical belongingness and quality-of-work questionnaires were used. Independent Samples Test, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation were used to investigate the relationship between quality of work life and SPSS software 26. Results: According to the results of this study, the mean and standard deviation of the total score of clinical belongingness and quality of work life of nurses were 109.68 ± 13.75 and 211.68 ± 15.44, respectively. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the ward and clinical belongingness (P = 0.02). Also, a statistically significant relationship was observed between clinical belongingness and quality of work life (r = 0.24 and P = 0.007). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that clinical belongingness and the quality of work life for nurses are related. It is recommended that nursing officials and managers use the results of this study to plan to improve the sense of belonging to the clinical environment and increase the quality of the work life of nurses. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
