Abstract Background: Nurses as facilitators are experiencing various painful experiences throughout their working life. The nurses’ professional quality of life (ProQOL) is affected by both positive and negative consequences of these experiences. Compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue (CF) are two aspects of the ProQOL. Objectives: This study aims to assess the QOL of nurses working in a selected tertiary care hospital in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India. Materials and Methods: A total of 550 samples were taken from various units/wards of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, through a simple random technique. ProQOL scale version-5 was used to collect the data. The majority of the sample was from the 30 to 40 years of age group (83%), graduated (80%), and had an income of >49,731 (81%). Nurses experienced average satisfaction rates of 76% with a mean + standard deviation (SD) of 36.88 + 6.05, burnout (BO) rates of 70% with a mean + SD of 25.35 + 4.83, and CF rates of 70%. BO and CF had a negative correlation with r = −0.44 and P = 0.00. A positive correlation was found between BO and CF, with r = 0.57 and P = 0.01. Conclusion: The findings indicate that nurses experience moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, CF, and BO in their professional lives, and it is imperative to implement effective interventions to enhance their QOL.
