Resumen:
TITLE: Professional quality of life in nursing staff (ProQol): Looking towards nursing comfort. INTRODUCTION: The professional quality of life in nursing staff (ProQol) has a direct impact on the organization, on the quality of care and on the physical and psychological health of employees. Working to improve it, will contribute to improve their level of satisfaction and optimize the quality of their care. OBJECTIVES: To describe the factors involved in the quality of professional life observed by the nursing staff at the General Hospital in Granollers; analyze their perception about the quality of professional life for the hospital's nursing staff; And know their proposals on the key components of a work comfort model for this professional group. METHODOLOGY: Qualitative-descriptive research was chosen for this study which allowed an in-depth analysis focused on the symbolic interactionism by using the Grounded Theory through the use of discussion groups. However, through quantitative methodology, information on prevalence and general aspects of the phenomenon was obtained through the ProQol-35 professional quality of life questionnaire. The professional categories undertaken in this study were nurses, nursing assistants and nurse coordinators. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:Nursing professionals perceive an average global ProQol, they have high intrinsic motivation, a medium-high perception of workloads and low managerial support. The coding process resulted in 91 codes, grouped into 10 categories: institutional support, job stability, work relations, salary, training, personal work-life balance, stressors, job satisfaction, comfort in the workplace and personal factors. There is an emerging need for a series of conditions that they consider should be offered by the institution, jointly with the reduction of stressors, which together with the satisfaction and personal motivation for their work performance, leads the professional to obtain a good ProQol, which we have called work comfort.
