Summary
Hospitals are health care institutions with a high level of work-related stress, so the work in hospitals could increase the risk of low quality of life [1,2,3,4]. The Professional Quality of Life is a complex concept associated with the personal characteristics, the work environment, in addition to the relationship between the professional and a traumatic event experienced directly or indirectly [6]. It includes positive results such as compassion satisfaction as well as adverse effects of caring for others, such as burnout and compassion fatigue [7]. The healthcare providers are susceptible to several occupational risks that can affect their quality of work through exposure to radiations, chemicals, psychosocial, and physical hazards [8]
