Abstract: The nursing profession, pivotal in healthcare and on the front lines during the coronavirus outbreak, faces significant physical and psychosocial risks.The study was conducted to evaluate the work-life balance, psychological resilience, and effort-reward balance of nurses, and to explore the relationships between these factors.The study was a as a cross-sectional correlational study and the sample consisted of 360 nurses in a hospital. Data were collected using the Work-Life Balance Scale, the Abbreviated Version of the Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Effort-Reward Imbalance Scale.It was indicated that the average score of the participants' effort-reward imbalance ratio was above 1 and they received low reward for high effort. The Psychological Resilience Scale mean score was 21.89 ± 7.22 and the Work-Life Balance Scale mean score was 47.53 ± 8.49, and the scale scores were at an average level. It was concluded that psychological resilience significantly predicted work-life balance. (F = 61.124; p =.000), psychological resilience did not have a significant effect on effort-reward balance-ratio (F = 2.277, p =.132). In line with these results, it can be said that nurses received poor rewards despite their great efforts, which was accompanied by high occupational stress and work-life balance and psychological resilience. It is necessary to identify nurses experiencing low levels of resilience, work-life balance, and effort-reward imbalance, provide targeted support programs (e.g. stress management and coping techniques), and protect nurses' physical, mental, and professional resilience.
