The research tools included the Stamm Quality of Professional Life Questionnaire (2010), the Nurses' Workplace Scale by Lake et al. (2002), and the Nurses' Professional Competency Scale by Nielson et al. (2018). Pearson correlation method and multiple regression analysis were used in SPSS version 26 statistical software to analyze the data.

Also, the range of work experience was between 1 and 20 years and the mean and standard deviation of work experience was 7.83 ± 4.75. The results of the present study showed that the highest correlation was between satisfaction with compassion and the work environment (r=0.56) and the lowest correlation was between professional competence and the work environment (r=0.21). These correlations were positive and significant (p<0.01). In addition, the findings of the research showed that professional competence and Practice environment play a role in predicting the components of the quality of professional life, i.e. compassion satisfaction (R Square=0.41), burnout (R Square=0.20) and secondary traumatic stress (R Square=0.12), Although the percentage of variance explained through professional competence was higher than the practice environment (p<0.01).
