Objective: In the present study, it was aimed to determine the level of work life quality among nurses and the related factors.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 199 nurses working in Elazığ Mental Health Hospital. A questionnaire including the Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) Scale was administered to the nurses under direct observation.

Results: A total of 51.3% of the nurses included in the study were female, their mean age was 38.4±8.2, and the QNWL total mean score was 115.0±21.5. The QNWL's subscales and total score were found to be higher by those who were married, had children, had high school/associate degree level of education, were permanent employees, did not have shifts, did not want to leave the institution they work, were asked for their opinion when making decisions for the institution, and whose career goals were met (p<0.05).

The QNWL's total score did not show statistically significant differences in terms of gender and unit of work. Additionally, in terms of economic situation perception and having shifts, the subscale of relations with managers did not present statistically significant differences in terms of job perceptions (p>0.05).

Conclusion: As a result, the quality of work life of the nurses working in the mental health hospital was found to be above the average in this study. It is thought that the planning and implementation of regulations that can improve nurses' socioeconomic status, work conditions, positive outlook, and approach to the profession can further increase their level of work life quality.
