data set for study titled Personality, Mental Wellbeing, and Resilience as Predictors of ProQOL in Mental Health Nurses

This study explores the impact of personality traits, mental well-being, and resilience on the professional quality of life (ProQOL) of mental health nurses working in private hospitals in India. With an emphasis on burnout, compassion satisfaction, and secondary traumatic stress, the research seeks to identify predictive factors that influence nurses' job satisfaction and emotional well-being. The study utilizes a cross-sectional design, with a sample of 282 mental health nurses. Data was collected using standardized instruments including the Big Five Inventory, WHO-5 Well-Being Index, Brief Resilience Scale, and the ProQOL Scale. The results demonstrate that extraversion, agreeableness, and resilience positively predict compassion satisfaction, while neuroticism is a significant predictor of burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Mental well-being and resilience also play crucial roles in mitigating burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Cluster analysis reveals distinct psychological profiles among nurses, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to improve ProQOL. This research provides actionable insights for enhancing the well-being of mental health nurses through targeted psychological interventions, improving organizational support, and addressing systemic issues within the healthcare environment.
