None:
The quality of life of healthcare workers is an important indicator of the state of the healthcare system and the quality of services provided. This study focuses on analyzing the factors affecting the quality of life of general practitioners working in urban polyclinics in Kazakhstan.
Objective:
To assess the quality of life of general practitioners and identify key factors determining their physical and psychological well-being.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted using the validated Russian-language version of the SF-36 questionnaire. A total of 203 physicians from five cities in Kazakhstan participated in the survey. Statistical tests, including analysis of variance and correlation analysis, were applied for data processing.
Results:
The average overall SF-36 index was 58.2%. The lowest scores were recorded in the domains of social functioning and role limitations due to emotional problems. Age and marital status were found to influence specific quality-of-life domains. The proposed model for improving quality of life emphasizes the optimization of working conditions and the introduction of psychological support.
Conclusion:
The results of the study demonstrate the need for systemic changes in the organization of work for general practitioners. The proposed measures may be used to improve quality of life and enhance the efficiency of healthcare professionals. A limitation of the study is the pronounced gender imbalance of the sample (92.6% women), which may affect the generalizability of the results.
