    (2023) Attachegbe, Eleojo Mercy
    The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between work-life balance, psychological well-being and job satisfaction of nurses in Mengo Hospital during COVID19. The study adopted a cross sectional and quantitative survey design. Correlation and regression designs were adopted to explain the relationships between the variables of study and the extent to which the independent variables explain the dependent variable. The study population consisted of 400 nurses (Human Resource report Mengo Hospital2020) were it was selected randomly to form the sample of 196 nurses who worked in the different departments of Mengo Hospital during the COVID19 pandemic to form the sample for this study (Krajie and Morgan,1970). The data was tested for reliability, analyzed using SPSS and results presented based on the study objectives. Though the results of analysis indicate existence of a significant association between work life balance and job satisfaction levels of nurses that work at Mengo Hospital in Kampala. It also revealed that there is a significant relationship between existence of work life balance at the hospital and psychological well-being of the nurses. Furthermore, this study confirms that Psychological well-being of a nurse enables a nurse get the feeling of being satisfied with what he or she does though, psychological well-being does not mediate the relationship between work life balance and job satisfaction. This position is supported by the literature in the medical field as well. Based on this, it was considered as the concluding position as far as this hypothesis is concerned. The study therefore recommended that there is need for work shifts of nurses to be followed with possibility of changes based on the needs of the nurses and the agreements amongst them, the nurses need to be encouraged to have a cordial relationship amongst themselves as well as with their supervisors and subordinates and the overall working conditions of nurses in Hospitals have to change with specific focus being on ensuring that the nurses are able to execute their duties without reservation.
