| Shrnutí: | Health sector employs large number of women workforce for its function is a well-known
phenomenon. The existence of the ANMs and other nursing professionals contributes much to the
health system in India. NRHM introduced larger women workforce as Accredited Social Health
Activists (ASHA) highlights the importance of women workforce in health in India. There is a
differential job allocation for men and women workers in health sector. Studies show ANMs are
more burdened compared to their male counterparts in terms of the work load. The male Health
Supervisors and other multipurpose workers (men) have lesser responsibility compared to that of
Nurses in general. In general, in addition to the routine activities such as immunization, family
planning, and other services, they are also burdened with a large amount of work in terms of
report writing and attending meetings. These additional responsibilities burden the Nursing
workforce. Further to the above, they are also engaged in various national programs. There are
other factors such as transfers and postings, poor working conditions and so on adds more load to
their work. The present study is trying to address some of these problems. The study proposes to
study the workload among the nurses in India with specific reference to Kerala. |
