Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF FEMALE NURSES IN GULBARGA CITY ANASUYA M. KADAM Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Globalization has opened the doors of many professions and occupations to all
people including women. As such, women have entered many professions and nursing is
one such occupation, in which women are dominating. Nursing is not time bounded
work in hospitals. As such, the families of the nurses may be neglected. Present study
was undertaken in Gulbarga city by using questionnaires and total 130 female nurses
were interviewed on socio-economic life. It is highlighted from the study that outside
work helped female nurses to get status and respect in their family and society. On the
other hand, there is relative stress and family burden as expressed by the respondents.
Even majority of the respondents have stated that the nurses should not marry as there is
heavy work burden in the hospitals and due to this reason, their families may be
neglected. In this regard, it is suggested to the employers in hospitals to recruit more
nurses to reduce the work burden of the existing female nurses. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ANASUYA M. KADAM, (2013). A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF FEMALE NURSES IN GULBARGA CITY.
