摘要：Objective. The objective of the study was to explain differences in the subjective evaluation of the psychological and socialaspects of quality of life in a group of working and unemployed nurses and midwives.Materials and method. The survey was conducted in a group of 620 professionally-active and inactive people (315 nursesand 305 midwives), selected by random stratified-systematic sampling. The tool used to gather empirical material was thestandardized questionnaire WHOQoL-100.Results. Professionally-active nurses evaluated the mental domain less favourably (M=12.33), compared with unemployednurses (M=12.73), and the difference between average values was statistically significant (p=.043). It is also worth notingthat in the group of midwives there were significant differences in each discussed domain. The unemployed respondentsevaluated more positively the overall quality of life (M=14.29; p=.005) and the mental domain (M=12.85; p=.009), while thesocial domain was evaluated less favourably by the professionally-active midwives (M=12.73; p=.022).Conclusions. Paradoxically, those who were unemployed made slightly more positive evaluations in comparison with theprofessionally active. Professional work is not a factor preferably affecting the quality of life and its psychosocial dimension.The higher quality of life of the unemployed respondents may result from the buffering impact of social support.
