Summary

Nurses generally have good work ability and job satisfaction. However, work ability was lower in departments with higher sick leave and among those with cardiovascular diseases, indicating areas for improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Job satisfaction and work ability are crucial for nurses.
  • Psychosocial factors may influence health outcomes like cardiovascular diseases and sick leave.

Purpose:

  • To assess work ability, job satisfaction, psychosocial factors, and diseases among nurses.
  • The study focused on 10 departments within Monfalcone Hospital.

Summary:

  • A survey of 160 nurses (90% response rate) used the Work Ability Index (WAI) and other questionnaires.
  • Most nurses (86.4%) reported good to excellent work ability (WAI > 37).
  • Lower WAI scores correlated with higher sick leave (>10 days/year) and cardiovascular diseases.

Impact:
