Abstract

Nursing is a profession characterized by high demands and significant stress, often compounded by personal circumstances. Nurses whose spouses are not employed face unique challenges, including financial strain, emotional disconnect, and role overload, which can adversely impact their mental and physical well-being. This article explores the multifaceted stressors encountered by nurses in single-income households, examining their effects on marital relationships, workplace performance, and overall quality of life. Evidence-based coping mechanisms such as open communication, financial planning, mindfulness, and institutional support are discussed as strategies to mitigate stress. The article also emphasizes the role of healthcare organizations in providing flexible schedules, counseling services, and employee assistance programs to support nurses in distress. By addressing these challenges through individual, relational, and systemic interventions, this article aims to contribute to the well-being and professional sustainability of nurses in singleincome families. Real-life examples, research insights, and practical recommendations are included to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue.
