Levelling Hard Pitch of Work-Family Conflict During Pandemic: Lived Experience of Female Nurses

This paper aims to explore the notion of work-family conflict (WFC) among female nurses during the pandemic of COVID as they were standing at the front line to combat this havoc. Health care is a challenging field, and medical professionals, especially female nurses, experience this phenomenon on a daily basis. A reasonable amount of scholarship is available on this topic. How-ever, research focusing on contextualizing work-family conflict during COVID-19 is a missed clue between practice and research. Considering this lacuna, this research paper has exclusively focused on the lived experience of married (with kids) female nurses and the strategies they employed to survive in the religion-culturally defined patriarchal environment of Pakistan. In line,this paper contributes to the intellectual discourse with a context-specific insider's view of female nurses.Research implications and future research direction will also be given in this paper.
