摘要：
Work-life balance (WLB) among female healthcare professionals (FHPs) in Asia is compromised by intersecting professional and family responsibilities, impacting their quality of life (QOL) and job satisfaction. This thematic review of 21 studies across seven Asian countries identifies key factors affecting WLB and QOL, including excessive workloads, cultural expectations, mental health strain, gender inequity, and insufficient workplace support. Eight themes emerged, highlighting systemic challenges. Recommendations include flexible policies, enhanced mental health resources, and resilience- building interventions. Addressing these issues is vital for improving FHPs' well-being and sustaining healthcare services in Asia.
