Background: Incidence of job abuse from all over the world continues to grow in number,
especially among nurses because of daily exposure to challenging situations as a result of dealing
with different types of patients, and families. Aim of study: Was to assess the relation between job

followed by more than one third (35.7%) of studied nurses had low perception level and more than
three fifth (64.3%) of them had moderate level of quality of nursing care. Conclusion: There was
statistically significant positive correlation between total perception level of job abuse and total
quality level, while there was statistically significant negative correlation between total exposure
rate to job abuse and quality of nursing care. Recommendations: Hospital administration should
