Nurses constitute one of the largest and most essential groups within the healthcare workforce. Their job satisfaction is important not only for their professional well-being but also for nurse retention, quality of patient care, organizational performance, and patient safety. Despite the essential nature of nursing work, nurses frequently experience heavy workloads, inadequate staffing, long and irregular working hours, occupational stress, limited participation in decision-making, inadequate recognition, insufficient remuneration, interpersonal conflicts, limited career advancement, and challenging working environments. The World Health Organization's State of the World's Nursing 2025 emphasizes the importance of investment in nursing employment, leadership, education, remuneration, and working conditions.
