Context: Nurses are the backbone of healthcare systems. They often work in high-stress environments that can significantly impact their quality of life. Addressing their well-being is crucial for maintaining effective healthcare services.
Aim: This study investigates the effectiveness of a counseling program based on coping strategies to enhance the quality of life among nurses at European Gaza Hospital.
Methods: The researchers used this quasi-experimental design, utilizing a single-group pretest-posttest design. Thirty-three nurses, comprising 20 males and 13 females, participated in the study. The researchers developed and implemented quality-of-life scales and a counseling program that applied to the nurses at European Gaza Hospital.
Results: The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group across the quality-of-life subscales. The following changes were observed at the significance level (p≤0.05): Physical Health Subscale: Pre-test mean rank is 29.45±5.50, compared to post-test mean rank of 18.81±4.12, p-value = 0.000. Psychological Health Subscale: Pre-test mean rank is 36.81±5.35, compared to the post-test mean rank of 28.36±6.39, p-value = 0.000. Social Relationships Subscale: The pre-test mean rank is 20.39±3.30, compared to the post-test, the mean rank of 15.27±3.07, p-value = 0.000. Environmental Subscale: The pre-test mean rank is 19.18±3.30, compared to the post-test mean rank of 14.18±2.83, p-value = 0.000. Professional domain: The pre-test mean rank is 37.30±6.21, compared to post-test mean rank of 27.96±5.15, p-value = 0.000.
Conclusion: These findings suggest the importance of prioritizing nurses' well-being through tailored counseling interventions. Recommendations include implementing psychological support programs, providing ongoing professional development, fostering a collaborative work environment, promoting self-care practices, and conducting regular program evaluations.
