Additionally, the participants scored moderate levels on all BQNWL subscales. The mean score of BQNWL was statistically better for nurses who had training courses on emergency department (t = -2.663, P = 0.008). However, no other statistically significant differences were found in BQNWL scores in regarding to demographic and work related variables.
Conclusion:
The results of this study reported a noticeable alteration in QNWL among nurses working in ER. The nurses had a moderate QNWL levels.
