A Study on Work-Life Balance Among Hospital Nurses

This research investigates the critical factors impacting the work-life balance of hospital nurses, a demographic often challenged by long hours, shift work, and emotional labour. Recognizing that a balanced professional and personal life is essential for both nurse well-being and patient care quality, the study employs a descriptive design that integrates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Data is collected through structured questionnaires administered to a stratified sample of 100 nurses across various departments. The survey addresses key areas such as workload, scheduling flexibility, job satisfaction, and support systems. Additionally, qualitative insights are garnered through interviews, facilitating a deeper understanding of the unique stressors nurses face in their roles. The findings aim to identify specific organizational and personal variables affecting work-life balance, providing actionable recommendations to enhance the working conditions and overall job satisfaction of nurses in hospital settings.
