abstract
This study looks at how work-life balance affects the job satisfaction of nurses at Rajiv Gandhi Cooperative Hospital, Palakkad. Keeping a good balance between work and personal life helps nurses stay healthy, reduce stress, and do their jobs better. The study used a descriptive method and collected data from 60 nurses through a questionnaire. The results show that most nurses are happy with their jobs but face problems like long working hours and heavy workload. There was no strong link found between gender and work flexibility or between marital status and stress. The study concludes that a good work-life balance leads to higher job satisfaction and better patient care. The hospital should give flexible work hours, stress relief programs, and support for nurses’ well-being.
