| Abstract: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) are important in healthcare system within the state of Kerala where they act as an interface between the formal healthcare system and the rural populations. Although they are very important employees, ASHA workers experience a lot of job stress as a result of being overworked, not well compensated, and lack of resources. In this article, the author examines the factors and implications of work-related stress to the employees of the ASHA in Kerala and also discusses the possible remedies to change the working environment. The results demonstrate the significance of fair pay, enhanced training, emotional support, and workload management to destress job and improve the performance of ASHA employees in Kerala. |
