ABSTRACT

The current study was aimed at exploring the level of job satisfaction and quality of life as perceived by the nurses working in a private hospital in New Delhi. It attempted to investigate the relationship between the perceived level of job satisfaction and quality of life of nurses. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 104 nurses. Minnesota Questionnaire or MSQ (Long Form) and WHOQOL-BREF were administered to measure job satisfaction and quality of life respectively. The results demonstrated an overall positive correlation between job satisfaction and quality of life. The findings also revealed that scores on MSQ (job satisfaction) and WHOQOL (quality of life) varied significantly in accordance with the age, gender, marital status and work experience of the participating nurses.
