ntroduction: The number of community health nurses is not balanced
with the workload given. This phenomenon may cause nurses at risk of
experiencing physical and psychological problems that have an impact
on the quality of life of the professional community health nurses.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship
between workload and professional quality of life in community health
nurses at the Jember district health center. Methods: This study used a
cross-sectional design with a sample size of 74 respondents. The
sampling technique used was cluster sampling and proportionate
random sampling. Data collection was conducted in January-March
2019. The questionnaire used NASA-TLX (α = 0.781) and ProQoL-5 (α
= 0.903). The statistical test used is the Spearman Rank. Results: The
results showed that there was no relationship between workload and
professional quality of life (p-value = 0.372; CI = 95%). Community
health nurses have workload (78.4%), compassion satisfaction (9.5%),
burnout (59.5%), and secondary traumatic stress (13.5%) in the
moderate category. Conclusion: High motivation and hard work of
nurses in carrying out their responsibilities make the performance of
nurses good, even though they have a moderate workload. Evaluation
from the head of the room and also the demands of the workplace agency
make the nurse work optimally. No one has measured the quality of life
professionally directly but through their performance. Future research
may be needed to explore the workload and quality of life professionals.
