Objective: to analyze the professional quality of life of nursing workers and identify its association with sociodemographic and professional variables. Method: this is a quantitative, cross-sectional study conducted with 180 nursing workers from a public hospital by applying a sociodemographic and professional questionnaire and the Professional Quality of Life Scale 4 - Brazilian version. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, association and correlation tests. Results: a higher frequency of compassion satisfaction and a lower frequency of secondary traumatic stress were evidenced. Compassion satisfaction showed a negative correlation with burnout (r=-0.21; p<0.01) and secondary traumatic stress (r=-0.23; p<0.01), while these showed a positive correlation with each other (r=0.43; p<0.001). The type of employment relationship was associated with burnout (p<0.001), the work shift with secondary traumatic stress (p=0.02), and the workplace with the three scale components (p<0.05). Conclusion: high employee satisfaction is a protective factor. Interventions for burnout and secondary traumatic stress are necessary and may be based on associated factors.
