A 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that 36.1% of nurses in India reported high burnout, with 48.7% scoring high on exhaustion and 42.1% on mental distance from their work.
And yet — nurses are still expected to take night shifts, manage patient loads alone, and stay silent.
→ 34.7% reported more than 7 night shifts in a single month → Most work 41–48 hours/week in direct patient care → 39 studies confirm job dissatisfaction is a leading cause of India's healthcare worker shortage
