The quality of life of nurses was measured by the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF 36), which consisted of 36 question items, while the level of burnout syndrome was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey, which consisted of 22 questions. Results: All nurses had experienced burnout syndrome in varying degrees. The nurse burnout rate was generally low at 163 (60.6%), and the quality of life of nurses was typically good at 252 (97.3%) and a small percentage at 17 (6.3%). The spearman rho p-value analysis <0.05 showed a significant relationship between burnout syndrome and nurses' quality of life. Conclusion: Life balance allows nurses to be able to balance work and can improve the quality of life. Nurses can use a variety of methods to cope with burnout syndrome and improve their quality of life.
