Abstract
BackgroundWork-life imbalance has been a growing issue globally particularly among healthcare workers including nurses as they must maintain a healthy work-life balance to deliver quality patient care-the primary objective of all healthcare organizations. Factors contributing to nurses' work-life imbalance have not been investigated well particularly in the Low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) including Bangladesh. AimsThis study investigated the interrelationship of work-life imbalance, employee dissatisfaction, the impact of work on the family as well as the influence of family on work. MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 656 nurses employed in various healthcare settings in Dhaka, Bangladesh using a convenient sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews were conducted between June 2 and December 15, 2022. Data were analyzed for descriptive and inferential statistics using STATA. This study adhered to Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR) criteria. The probability of an event occurring and the correlations between predictive and outcome variables were determined using multivariate logistic regression. ResultsMultinomial logistic regression revealed the highly influential parameters to work-life imbalance levels. The Pearson correlation showed the positive association between employees' unhappiness, family's negative impact on career, work's negative impact on family, and work-life imbalance. ConclusionsMaintaining nurses' work-life balance is critical in improving healthcare organizations' productivity, delivery of quality patient care and ensuring positive clinical outcomes.
