Abstract:

Nursing is essential in all health system organizations. Organizational labour is complex and rarely studied in health and nursing. Health care quality and staff are affected by this issue. Poor working conditions, overwork, and escalating workplace violence and bullying can cause health workers, especially nurses, to quit. This study evaluated Kannur hospital and college nurses' and nurse educators' bio-psychosocial concerns. A descriptive research study uses a structured Google Forms questionnaire. Kannur hospitals and colleges selected 144 health care workers (79 nurses and 65 nurse educators) using snowball sampling. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics in line with the study objectives. 8.9% of nurses had minor bio-psychosocial issues, 62% moderate, and 29.1% severe. 12.3% of nurse educators had minor bio-psychosocial issues, 67.7% intermediate, and 20% severe. Nurses averaged 86.9 bio-psychosocial problem scores, and nurse educators, 77.46, a 9.44-point difference. Nurse educators and nurses have quite distinct bio-psychosocial problem ratings. Bio-psychosocial problems and nursing habits were substantially connected, but not nurse educators' demographics. Nurses and nurse educators found that health care workers, the backbone of our health system, have concerns. Addressing these issues and improving the workplace are vital.
