Conclusion and Recommendations: The hospital should improve income policies, support nurses with difcult circumstances, create a friendly working environment, and provide opportunities for professional development. In addition, flexible support mechanisms should be implemented for nurses who have ill family members, along with reward and recognition programs to enhance morale and improve the quality of care.
