ABSTRACT
This study aimed to clarify to relationship between nurse’s WLB and their perception of care for patients in medical ward. Subjects of this survey were nurses working at general hospitals and core hospitals at some areas in Japan. Supposed nurses showed satisfaction on their WLB as well as approbatory perception of nursing care for patients in medical ward; we thought that there was a possible of providing high quality nursing care continually, because early studies reported that nurse’s satisfaction of WLB was related to perception of high quality of nursing care. We investigated two hospitals included medical wards in Japan. Most of patients who were hospitalized in these wards had chronic disease. The result of analysis revealed the significant relationship satisfaction of WLB with approbatory perception of nursing care. Consequently, it was suggested that supporting nurses to raise the WLB lead to improving the quality of nursing care for patients in medical ward.
