Nurses’ workload may be associated with the quality and consistency of nursing performance in inpatient settings. Local evidence from Ampana Regional General Hospital is needed to inform workload planning. Objective: To examine the association between workload and nurse performance among inpatient nurses at Ampana Regional General Hospital. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on June 10–20, 2025. The thesis reports 54 nurses sampled from a population of 119 using Slovin’s formula with a 10% error margin and proportional allocation across eight wards, followed by simple random sampling. Workload and performance were measured with 13-item and 30-item questionnaires; Spearman’s rho was used. Moderate workload was reported by 38 nurses (70.4%), light workload by 13 (24.1%), and heavy workload by 3 (5.6%). Performance was moderate in 30 nurses (55.6%) and good in 24 (44.4%). The results report a positive correlation (Spearman’s ρ=0.530, p<0.001). Workload and performance scores were significantly associated.
