Purpose:
It was aimed to determine the perceptions of nurses' working environment and professional quality of life and to compare nurses with and without musculoskeletal discomfort.
Design And Methods:
It is a descriptive and comparative study. The data were collected from 333 nurses working at different units.
Findings:
Those, who did not have discomfort in their body parts, had a higher mean score in the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index; whereas, those having discomfort in all parts of the body had a higher mean score in the Professional Quality of Life Scale (p < 0.05; p < 0.01; p < 0.001).
Practice Implications:
Attempts to reduce nurses' musculoskeletal discomfort can positively increase perceptions of the working environment and professional quality of life.
