Abstract
ABSTRACT This study addresses the mental health disparities among nurses based on various socio-demographic and work-related factors. Recognizing the widespread issue of mental health in the nursing profession, the study investigates the differences in the mental health of nurses to various socio-demographic and work-related factors. The study focused on hospital status, shift timing, education level, working hours, marital status, gender, family income level, and family size. Using convenient sampling, data were collected from 310 nurses working in public sector hospitals in Punjab, Pakistan. Kruskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U test, and Dunn's pairwise tests were used. The study findings revealed significant differences in mental health across these factors except for family size. Key findings highlight mental health disparities based on hospital status, shift timing, education level, working hours, marital status, gender, and family income. The study concludes that tailored interventions and support systems are essential to address the specific challenges faced by diverse nursing subgroups. The study contributes to the development of a resilient and well-supported nursing workforce. These findings have broader implications for nursing professional development, academic courses, and the overall well-being of healthcare professionals.
