EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON THE STRESS MANAGEMENT OF FEMALE NURSES IN VELLORE CITY
Abstract
Work-life balance is a vital aspect of overall well-being, particularly in high-stress jobs such as nursing. Female nurses, who commonly combine difficult work schedules and personal responsibilities, may feel severe stress if work-life balance is not managed effectively. This study will investigate how work-life balance influences the stress levels of female nurses in Vellore City. The study's goal is to analyze the current state of work-life balance among female nurses, quantify their stress levels, and investigate the relationship between these two variables. A descriptive study approach, including surveys and interviews, was employed to collect data from a representative sample of female nurses working in multiple private hospitals in Vellore. The findings indicate a significant link between work-life balance and stress levels, with nurses who had a better work-life balance experiencing lower stress levels. The study underlines the significance of adopting supporting policies and procedures in healthcare facilities to improve work-life balance, and hence female nurses' general mental health and job satisfaction.
