Abstract

Introduction: Nurses as the primary group of healthcare providers need to have a satisfactory quality of working life to provide the desired care to patients. Quality of nursing work life has several impacts on nurses, nursing services, and organizations and can result in burnout. This study aims to identify the Application of the Quality of Nursing Worklife to the Burnout of nurses with a review approach. Methode: Conducting a literature review of journals using three academic databases (Science Direct, PubMed, and ProQuest),  Inclusion criteria in literature studies are: English articles, research on nurses on the quality of work life, published in 2017-2022, with a mixed method/quasi-experiment and cross-sectional design. Keywords used Quality of Nursing Worklife AND Burnout AND Nurses.  Instrument: Guide in reviewing journals using PRISMA. Result and Analysis: fifteen literature studies met the criteria for inclusion in the review. The study used mixed (n = 2), quantitative correlational (n = 1), quasi-experimental (n = 1) and cross-sectional (n = 11) methods. The participants were nurses in various hospitals. The results of several articles show the quality of nurses' working life as a multidimensional construct including the physical, social, psychological, and environmental dimensions of an employee. In this systematic review, we looked at the impact of QNWL on nurse burnout. Improving QNWL by building a work environment, work stress, opportunities for growth, social support, and work-life balance can address these issues. The analysis showed a relationship between three of the six variables. As the workload increased, so did burnout levels among the participants, and the honesty and values categories. Discussion and Conclusion: There needs to be organizational support to overcome burnout. Organizational support will reduce job dissatisfaction and absenteeism. This area of work life is a predictor of job burnout. The management of the work environment is said to be healthy if the work environment takes a strategic and comprehensive approach to providing physical, cultural, and psychological working conditions that maximize the health, safety, and well-being of nurses
