Abstract

Objective: To identify and analyze the main factors influencing nurses' QoL in the public health context, considering economic, psychosocial, and environmental aspects. Method: This is an integrative literature review with a qualitative approach. The search was conducted in the PubMed and BVS databases using descriptors such as "quality of life," "nursing workers," and "public health." Studies published between 2003 and 2024 were analyzed. Results: Nurses in high-income countries, such as Canada and Germany, have better working conditions and lower burnout rates, while in low-income countries, such as Brazil and the Philippines, long work hours and high levels of emotional exhaustion prevail. Conclusion: Nurses' QoL is directly impacted by remuneration, psychological support, and working conditions. Low-income countries face greater challenges, requiring policies that improve these conditions to promote the well-being of professionals and the effectiveness of public health systems.
