Enhancing healthcare quality by promoting work-life balance among nursing staff

Abstract

Nurses are fundamental to the functioning of any healthcare organization. However, nursing is a demanding and stressful profession. Excessive occupational stress can cause work-life conflict, decrease quality of care, and increase nurse resignation. It is essential that healthcare providers examine their organizational culture to ensure a supportive climate to maximize the well-being and work-life balance of nurses. With the improvement of the organizational culture, nurses will be able to provide top quality medical care, be more productive, and enhance patient satisfaction.
