Introduction: The healthcare industry, particularly in the context of primary care, presents various challenges to nurses and midwives, influencing their psychological empowerment (PE) and quality of work life (QWL).
Objective: This study's objective is to assess the levels of PE and QWL among Jordanian primary care nurses and midwives and explore the relationship between PE and QWL.
Methods: Utilizing a descriptive correlational design, the study included 273 Jordanian primary care nurses and midwives through convenience sampling.
Objective: Life expectancy of Jordanian women has increased, indicating that the number of women entering menopause age, during the prime of their working life, will also increase. Therefore, assessments of the quality of life (QoL) of working and retired women and factors associated with overall wellbeing, are essential for the provision of quality services and care.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 200 Jordanian women between the ages of 45 to 60 years old.
Although the current management of COVID-19 is mainly focused on efficacious vaccine and infection control, the most common psychological reactions (such as fear and anxiety) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have not been investigated and even neglected in patients with heart failure who are at greater risk for morbidity and mortality. We assessed COVID-19 related fear and anxiety among patients with heart failure and determined their associated factors. A cross sectional survey was conducted among 300 consecutive patients with heart failure during the period of March 2021−June 2021.
