ABSTRACT
This study addresses the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Spanish nurses during the sixth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, assessed through the EQ-5D and EQ-VAS indices. METHODS:
This cross-sectional 334 study used online surveys, recruiting 305 Spanish nurses.RESULTS:
Nurses generally perceived a good HRQoL. "Negative work-family interaction" is adversely associated with the EQ-VAS (ß = -0.337, 95% CI [-1.733, -0.723]) and EQ-5D (ß = -0.399, 95% CI [-0.021, -0.01]) indices, while "positive work-family interaction" shows a positive relationship with the EQ-VAS (ß = 0.218, 95% CI [0.381, 1.759]). The presence of a "paid supportive caregiver" is positively associated with the EQ-VAS (ß = 0.18, 95% CI [1.47, 12.3]) and EQ-5D (ß = 0.149, 95% CI [0.004, 0.117]) indices, but a higher "number of children" is negatively linked with the EQ-5D index (ß = -0.146, 95% CI [-0.061, -0.002]). In addition, living with a partner (EQ-VAS ß = 0.16, 95% CI [1.094, 14.67] and EQ-5D index ß = 0.174, 95% CI [0.018, 0.163]) and working a "rotating shift" (EQ-5D index ß = 0.158, 95% CI [0.005, 0.098]) are positively associated.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings highlight the need to comprehensively address nurses' well-being, considering both their working conditions and their home environment, especially in crisis contexts such as the current pandemic.
