Abstract: Objective To understand the status of work engagement and quality of life of medical staff,explore the relationship between the two. Methods From May to June 2022,a cluster convenient sampling was used to investigate 852 medical workers in the Gannan area with using the Utrecht work engagement scale（UWES） and the World Health Organization quality of life scale-brief form questionnaire（WHOQOL-BREF）. Results The total scores of work engagement and quality of life in respondents were （69.50±15.05） and （56.74±9.80）points respectively. There were statistically significant differences in work engagement scores among medical personnel of different gender,administrative position,practicing qualification,working years,willingness to participation,average daily working hours,and participation times（all P<0.05）. There were statistically significant differences in quality of life scores among medical personnel of monthly income,practicing qualification,working years,willingness to participation,duty times,average daily working hours,and participation times（all P<0.05）. There was a positive correlation between work engagement and quality of life（P<0.05）,but there were situations that the quality of life for those with low work engagement was high,and the quality of life for those with moderate work engagement was low. Conclusion The medical staff in Gannan area of Jiangxi Province are actively engaged in work,and the score of the physiological dimension of quality of life is not high,so they should be reasonably arranged for work and rest,and given timely incentives and guarantees to improve the quality of life.
