Work Life Balance and Healthy Living for Women Healthcare Professionals
Ashika G.S, Dr. Subhadra P S
Healthcare employees always prioritise their professional commitment over their personal needs, which make them difficult to maintain a healthy Work-Life Balance (WLB), especially for women. WLB is balancing between the professional responsibilities and personal life. Women healthcare workers encounter numerous challenges, including night shifts, long hours, limited breaks, and high work pressure. However, when there is a positive organizational culture and a supportive environment both at work and at home, female medical professionals can provide high-quality medical care, work more efficiently, and improve patient outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to identify the various factors influencing the personal and professional lives of female medical professionals and explore strategies to enhance their work-life balance (WLB).
