AB Aim and objective: To describe relations among health, job satisfaction, work en‐gagement and job features in Spanish nurses working in a public hospital.Background: It has been established that nursing staff health affects the quality oftheir work and is associated with job satisfaction, work engagement and different jobfeatures. Understanding the relationships among these variables could provide use‐ful information to improve staff performance and prevent work‐related illnesses.Design: A descriptive, cross‐sectional, correlational and comparative study was per‐formed between January–April 2016. This research adheres to the Strengthening theReporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline.Methods: A total of 926 nurses were requested to complete an online questionnaire.Nurses on sick leave or in period of unpaid leave during data collection were ex‐cluded. The final study population reached 392 nurses. The online survey was fullycompleted by 373 nurses. General health, job satisfaction and work engagementwere measured. Tools used were as follows: sociodemographic questions, theGeneral Health Questionnaire, the Overall Job Satisfaction Scale and the UtrechtWork Engagement Scale.Results: Significant correlations among general health, job satisfaction and work en‐gagement were found. Specifically, general health levels were negatively correlatedwith job satisfaction and work engagement subscales. Job features with influence onthese constructs were the type of shift, type of contract, type of service, salary, typeof continuous formation and having a specialty/profile.Conclusions: Our results indicate that job‐related features affect job satisfaction,general health and work engagement. The organisation should make interventionsover these features to increase job satisfaction and work engagement levels, sincethey are relevant for nursing staff health and patient security.Relevance to clinical practice: The analysis of the relationships among general health,job satisfaction, work engagement and job features in nurses could offer a basis todesign preventive programmes to improve staff performance and prevent work‐re‐lated illnesses.
