  • Abstract:
  • Work-life imbalance is an increasing concern worldwide, particularly for nurses and healthcare professionals whose ability to provide quality patient care relies on maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life. Nurses play a vital role in healthcare by offering medical care, emotional support, education, and advocacy to patients. The profession requires high levels of dedication, skill, and compassion, often involving long hours, heavy workloads, and emotional stress. Many nurses find it difficult to manage the demands of their jobs alongside family responsibilities due to extended shifts and unpredictable schedules. Achieving a healthy work-life balance is crucial for nurses to maintain their well-being, job satisfaction, and long-term career success. This balance involves effectively managing professional duties and personal commitments, allowing nurses to lead fulfilling lives while continuing to deliver critical care to their patients.
