Abstract
This study evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and job satisfaction among Kazakh nurses and investigated the relationship between HRQOL and job satisfaction. Nurses' HRQOL may, directly and indirectly, affect their job satisfaction, which could subsequently result in poorer productivity and quality patient care. A cross-sectional research design utilizing a standardized questionnaire was employed among 615 nurses working at the University Medical Center in Astana, Kazakhstan. Nurses generally reported moderate HRQOL and low job satisfaction. Marital status and the number of children were significant predictors of high HRQOL. Married nurses had lower job satisfaction than single nurses. Nurses' number of children contributed to an increase in job satisfaction. Experiencing better environmental health may lead to greater general, intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction among nurses. Positive physical health is associated with higher levels of extrinsic and general job satisfaction. Better social health is linked to better intrinsic and general job satisfaction, whereas positive psychological health is related to better intrinsic job satisfaction. This investigation provided evidence of the influence of HRQOL on nurses' job satisfaction in Kazakhstan. Healthcare facilities can create organizational cultures and working environments that prioritize the well-being of healthcare workers.
