In the presence of the Dean of the College of Nursing at the University of Mosul, Assistant Professor Dr. Tahseen Mohsen Hussein, the master’s thesis defense of student Ruba Shakir Ghanem Al-Taie was held on the morning of Thursday, July 31, 2025, in the discussion hall of the College of Nursing / University of Mosul.
The thesis is titled:
“Factors Affecting Perceived Work-Life Balance Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study in Mosul City Hospitals.”
This discussion aligns with the fourth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (Quality Education), as the study aimed to identify the factors influencing the perceived work-life balance among nurses working in Mosul hospitals.
The results revealed that work pressure, number of working hours, and marital status were among the most significant influencing factors.
The study further showed that the majority of nurses suffer from poor work-life balance, with a clear correlation between longer working hours and decreased balance levels. Additionally, schedule flexibility and administrative support were found to improve the balance.
The examination committee consisted of the following members:
-
Prof. Dr. Ameen Ajeel Yasser – Chair / College of Nursing – University of Babylon
-
Prof. Dr. Anmar Burhan Saeed – Member / College of Medicine – University of Mosul
-
Lecturer Dr. Rayan Ibrahim Khalil – Member / College of Nursing – University of Mosul
-
Prof. Dr. Radwan Hussein Ibrahim – Member and Supervisor / College of Nursing – University of Nineveh, who played a prominent role in scientifically supervising and guiding the student during the preparation of the thesis.
The discussion session was marked by a fruitful scientific dialogue, including a comprehensive review of the research topics and several observations and academic recommendations that contributed to enriching the content and enhancing its academic quality.
At the end of the session, the committee decided to award the student Ruba Shakir Ghanem Al-Taie a Master’s degree in Nursing Sciences, after making the required revisions.
On this occasion, the Dean’s Office of the College of Nursing extends its warmest congratulations and best wishes to the student for continued success in her academic and professional journey.
