Abstract

The impact of patient load on healthcare workers' job performance is a critical aspect that significantly influences the quality of care provided in healthcare settings. This review article aims to explore the various ways in which patient load affects healthcare workers' job performance and overall well-being. The increasing demand for healthcare services, coupled with limited resources and staff shortages, has led to healthcare workers facing high levels of patient load, which can have detrimental effects on their job performance. This article will examine the challenges faced by healthcare workers due to high patient loads, including increased stress, burnout, decreased job satisfaction, and potential errors in patient care. Furthermore, it will discuss potential strategies and interventions that can help mitigate the negative impact of patient load on healthcare workers' job performance, such as workload management techniques, staffing optimization, and the importance of self-care and mental health support for healthcare professionals. By understanding the relationship between patient load and job performance, healthcare organizations can implement effective policies and practices to support their staff and ultimately improve the quality of care provided to patients.
