Introduction and purpose: Nurses are the largest stratum of the healthcare system, and their workload increased greatly with the pandemic of the COVID-19 disease. Examining their social health and life quality is a very important matter that should be considered because it has a direct relationship with the quality of care they provide.
Material and methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in 1400 among nurses working in the COVID-19 department of teaching hospitals in Ilam city. After obtaining permission and receiving the code of ethics from the deputy director of research at Ilam University of Medical Sciences, WHOQOL and Keyes standard questionnaires were used to examine the quality of life and social health of nurses, respectively.
Findings: The average score and standard deviation of nurses' social health was 64.8±8.6 and the average score and standard deviation of nurses' quality of life was 67.5±22.9. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the average social health score and quality of life (p<0.001) and the observed correlation was moderate and direct (r=0.5). Between social health and demographic variables of nurses no significant relationship was observed, but the rate of social participation among married people was significantly higher than single people (P=0.003). Also, a service history of more than three years causes more social acceptance.
Conclusion: Identifying the factors affecting the quality of life and social health of nurses will improve the quality of nursing services and the health of society, so it is recommended that professional nursing planners pay attention to this matter.
