Thus, this study aimed to analyze the level of awareness regarding psychological well-being among women working in health care organizations, as well as to ascertain factors associated with work that impact them most. For this, descriptive research design, as well as data collection through structured questionnaires, were used to survey 76 women running as fitness care professionals. Percentage analysis revealed that most of them were found to possess a satisfactory level of awareness regarding this topic; however, issues regarding work stress factors, hesitation to openly talk, as well as support from the organization, were some facts that were revealed. Thus, this study reveals that strengthening support systems associated with mental health issues not only benefits these professionals but also helps to attain success with respect to work performance levels.
