Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurses' quality of life on the quality of care provided to patients in hospitals. The research method involved a questionnaire completed by 60 male and female nurses with varying levels of experience and work locations. The questionnaire included demographic information as well as questions about the nurses' daily quality of life. The results revealed variations in responses regarding factors affecting nurses' quality of life, including social, economic, and working conditions. Statistical analysis indicated that better quality of life is positively correlated with improved nurse performance in delivering healthcare to patients.
