Introduction: The quality of work life for family physicians can have a significant impact on patient and community satisfaction. The Quality of Life Questionnaire developed by Van Lar is one of the tools commonly used in Iranian studies to assess this aspect.
Methods: This study combined three research studies on the quality of life of family physicians, with a total sample size of 251 people. It utilized a linear model with random effects at a significance level of 95% in the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software.
Results: The average pooled quality of work-life among family physicians was 53.1%. Among the dimensions, the work-home interface had the lowest pooled effect at 45.9%, while the general well-being status had the highest, estimated at 58.2%.
Conclusion: Due to the inadequate quality of the working conditions for family physicians in all aspects, policymakers must prioritize the quality of their working lives and implement suitable solutions to enhance their overall well-being.
