Methodological study develops and validates an index for evaluating work life quality in nursing staff, suggesting effective decision-making strategies.
Key Points
The aim is to develop and validate an index that assesses factors influencing quality of work life (QoWL) among nursing staff.
Conducted a methodological study using conjunctive consolidation analysis.
Developed an index by consolidating factors related to unsatisfactory QoWL.
Assessed validity through convergence with constructs like perceived institutional safety, mental health, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Evaluated index performance using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Identified key consolidations affecting QoWL, including psychosocial factors and work activity hazards.
Notable odds ratios for factors such as work alienation (3.8) and forced movements (4.16).
Demonstrated diagnostic capacity of the index with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79, indicating strong predictive ability.
