abstract: 'Aim To explore and provide understanding of the barriers to quality of
work life among registered nurses in Bangladesh. Background Globally,
there is growing interest in the working environments of nurses,
especially at a time of nursing shortages and with the focus on safety
and care quality in health systems. In a low socio-economic country like
Bangladesh, nurses struggle in a grossly underfunded healthcare system
to deliver care to the people but no studies have been conducted on
their quality of work life. Methods This qualitative descriptive study
was conducted at three Bangladeshi tertiary hospitals in May
2015-January 2016. Three focus group discussions were held with 30
registered nurses exploring their perceived barriers to quality of work
life. Data were analysed with content analysis. Findings Seven barriers
to their work-life arose: heavy workloads; lack of government
accommodation and transportation; poor health status; lack of support
from nursing supervisors; lack of promotion opportunities; incomplete
hospital policies and procedures; and lack of night shift and risk
allowances. Discussion Participants described many issues and barriers
impacting on their work-life. They perceived little reward for their
hard work, felt that their health suffered from their working conditions
and described a low QWL. Conclusion and policy implications Findings
provide information for nursing and health policymakers and leaders to
reduce barriers to improve work-life quality among nurses that can
contribute better to quality of nursing care, and nursing retention and
satisfaction. Work policies and practices, and funding and other
resources need to be scrutinized to ensure better working conditions for
Bangladeshi nurses. Limitations Interviews were conducted with nurses
only in tertiary hospitals in the Bangladeshi capital, and understanding
of barriers to work-life quality of nurses in other health settings and
regions needs to be explored.'
