PERCEPTION OF FEMALE NURSES ON WORK LIFE BALANCE- A STUDY ON PUBLIC HOSPITALS OF BANGALORE

Abstract

This study investigates the work-life balance of nurses working in public hospitals. The aim of the study is to investigate the implementation of work-life balance in the hospitals. The study looks into individual strategies used by nurses and the influence of work-life balance on the nurses in public hospitals. These hospitals face several challenges in achieving work-life balance, especially for married staff employed in such hospital. This investigation aims to comprehend the influence of work-life balance on the emotional and physical well-being of the workforces, specifically focusing on the challenges faced by nurses in managing their home and work responsibilities. 

Methodology and Result: A survey was conducted to collect data from nurses working in the Government hospital for the study. The survey data was gathered through a well-designed questionnaire with a participation of 100 respondents.

The study has revealed that several hospitals have implemented work-life balance regulations. However, the staff are unaware of these policies. Seminars and discussions are being organized to inform them about these policies. This research demonstrates the importance of hospitals assisting nurses in effectively managing their work-life balance, since doing could enhance their performance and alleviate stress among the workforce in the hospitals.
