Introduction: Nurses often face demanding environments and workloads that harm their quality of work life (QWL). Religious coping may serve as a culturally relevant protective factor against occupational stress, especially in health care settings. Methodology: This cross-sectional, correlational study examined the relationship between religious coping and QWL among 400 nurses working in a university hospital in Türkiye’s Central Black Sea region. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL R-IV), and Religious Coping Scale (RCS). Results: Results showed mean scores of 23.90 ± 7.26 for compassion satisfaction, 20.52 ± 5.26 for burnout, and 16.58 ± 7.54 for compassion fatigue. Positive and negative religious coping were significantly associated with compassion satisfaction. Regression analysis identified gender, job satisfaction, and sleep quality as significant predictors of QWL ( p < .05). Conclusions: Findings suggest that enhancing job satisfaction, sleep quality, and adaptive religious coping may improve nurses’ occupational well-being, particularly among male nurses.
