Abstract：
Quality of life (QOL) is based on one\'s perception of one\'s position in life with respect to one\'s goals, expectations, standards, and concerns. It is also influenced by one\'s culture and value system, workflow, and workplace situation; in turn, QOL influences the quality of service one is able to provide. In this study, we aim to report on dental and nursing academics\' QOL and wellbeing at the end of the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health professionals (nurses and dentists), but it is important to investigate their quality of life three years later; furthermore, knowledge about academic staff is very limited. The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) tool, recording the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of QOL, was used. The WHOQOL-BREF was modified using a spiritual coaching/mentoring approach in a two-step design and validation procedure. The modified SHQOL-BREF (Spiritual Healthcare version) designed for this study was uploaded and filled in online during April-June 2023. The staff (N = 120, 75% female) of the Departments of Dentistry (44.2%) and Nursing (55.8%) of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens participated anonymously. QOL in terms of physical health was reported at a higher level (M = 72.2 points) compared to social relationships (M = 69 points), psychological health (M = 65 points), and environment (M = 59 points) (scores reported on a 0-100 scale). Overall, QOL was rated at 66 points, while satisfaction with one\'s health was at 72 points. Job satisfaction (M1 = 3.2) and spirituality (M2 = 3.0) were reported at a medium level on a five-point scale, while personal beliefs and values were reported at a high level (M3 = 4.0). The four areas of QOL are associated with job satisfaction, personal beliefs, and spirituality. Participant age presented a significant moderate-strong effect on physical health (F (3.97) = 2.89, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.08) and on the environment (F (3.97) = 2.80, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.08), and marital status had a significant effect on social relationships (F (1.97) = 9.66, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.09). Married participants reported consistently higher levels of QOL compared to single participants, for all age groups. The department had a significant moderate effect on social relationships (F (1.97) = 5.10, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.05), and education had a significant moderate-strong effect on psychological health (F (2.97) = 3.74, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.07). PhD-level participants in both departments presented higher levels of psychological health compared to those with lower educational levels. Also, participants from the Department of Dentistry reported higher levels of social relationship QOL in all educational groups compared to the Department of Nursing. Overall, according to our findings, PhD participants generally had better psychological health. Those under 40 years of age had higher levels of physical health and environmental quality of life, while married participants and those from the Department of Dentistry had higher levels of social interactions than those from the Department of Nursing. Strategic planning on sustainability and QOL initiatives should be introduced after the COVID-19 pandemic for dental and nursing academic personnel to promote resilience and QOL scores. Enhancing the QOL of academic staff is essential for developing health promotion activities at universities and can help boost performance among staff and students.
摘要：
生活质量（QOL）是基于一个人对生活中相对于一个人的目标的位置的感知，期望,标准,和担忧。它也受到一个人的文化和价值体系的影响，工作流,和工作场所的情况；反过来，QOL影响一个人能够提供的服务质量。在这项研究中,我们的目标是在COVID-19大流行的第三年末报告牙科和护理学者的生活质量和健康状况。有几项关于COVID-19大流行对卫生专业人员（护士和牙医）的影响的研究，但重要的是要调查他们三年后的生活质量；此外，关于学术人员的知识非常有限。世界卫生组织生活质量BREF量表（WHOQOL-BREF）工具，记录身体，心理,社会,和生活质量的环境维度，被使用。WHOQOL-BREF在两步设计和验证程序中使用精神指导/指导方法进行了修改。为这项研究设计的改良SHQOL-BREF（精神医疗保健版本）在2023年4月至6月期间上传并在线填写。雅典国立大学和Kapodistrian大学牙科部门（44.2％）和护理部门（55.8％）的工作人员（N=120，女性75％）匿名参加。与社会关系（M=69分）相比，身体健康方面的生活质量报告较高（M=72.2分），心理健康（M=65分），和环境（M=59分）（以0-100量表报告的分数）。总的来说,QOL被评为66分，而对健康的满意度为72分。工作满意度（M1=3.2）和灵性（M2=3.0）在5分制的中等水平上报告，而个人信念和价值观的报道水平较高（M3=4.0）。QOL的四个领域与工作满意度相关，个人信仰,和灵性。参与者年龄对身体健康（F（3.97）=2.89，p<0.05，η2p=0.08）和对环境（F（3.97）=2.80，p<0.05，η2p=0.08）有明显的中等强度影响，婚姻状况对社会关系有显著影响(F(1.97)=9.66,p<0.05,η2p=0.09)。已婚参与者报告的QOL水平始终高于单身参与者，对于所有年龄组。该部门对社会关系有显著的中度影响(F(1.97)=5.10,p<0.05,η2p=0.05),教育对心理健康有显著的中强效应(F(2.97)=3.74,p<0.05,η2p=0.07)。与受教育程度较低的人相比，这两个部门的博士学位参与者的心理健康水平更高。此外，与护理部相比,来自牙科部的参与者报告了所有教育组的社会关系QOL水平较高.总的来说,根据我们的发现,博士参与者的心理健康状况普遍较好。40岁以下的人的身体健康水平和环境生活质量较高，虽然已婚参与者和牙科部门的参与者的社交互动水平高于护理部的参与者。应在COVID-19大流行后对牙科和护理学术人员进行可持续性和生活质量计划的战略规划，以提高韧性和生活质量分数。提高学术人员的生活质量对于在大学开展健康促进活动至关重要，并有助于提高员工和学生的表现。
