Summary
The quality of work life of nurses is directly proportional to the quality of care services. Having a good quality of work and life is a prerequisite for nurses to carry out high-quality nursing and contribute to the sustainable development of health service systems [2]. ICU nurses have higher work pressure, long-term stress, and poor quality of work life [3] [4] [5]. There are few studies on the quality of work life of ICU nurses, and it is limited to the top three hospitals. It is extremely urgent to carry out research on the quality of work life of ICU nurses. This study aims to investigate the current status and influencing factors of the quality of work life of ICU nurses in different grades of hospitals, and provide reference for the intervention study to improve the quality of work life of ICU nurses
