Özet
Background Workaholism is an important occupational risk that may impair nurses' quality of life. Psychological resilience may buffer these negative effects and mediate the relationship between workaholism and quality of life. Aim To examine the relationships among workaholism, psychological resilience, and quality of life among pediatric nurses in Türkiye and to determine the mediating role of psychological resilience. Methods This cross-sectional study included 258 pediatric nurses working across Türkiye. Data were collected using the Demographic Information Form, Dutch Work Addiction Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, and Quality of Life Scale for Nurses. Mediation was examined using bootstrap analysis. Results Psychological resilience was negatively associated with workaholism (B = −0.519, t = −7.921, p < 0.001), whereas workaholism was negatively associated with physical quality of life (B = −0.130, t = −3.120, p = 0.002). The indirect effect was significant (Effect = 0.068, 95% CI [0.016, 0.125]). Psychological resilience also had a significant direct effect on physical quality of life after controlling for workaholism (B = 0.406, t = 8.310, p < 0 0.001), indicating partial mediation. Conclusion Psychological resilience protects against the adverse effects of workaholism on pediatric nurses' physical quality of life. Interventions that strengthen resilience and reduce workaholic behaviors may improve nurses' well-being. Implications to Practice Healthcare organizations should promote resilience and reduce excessive work demands through supportive workplace strategies to improve pediatric nurses' physical quality of life.
