Background: Nurses play an essential role in providing comprehensive and effective hospital care. However, heavy workloads and professional demands may affect the quality of nursing care, particularly in inpatient settings. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses’ workload and the implementation of nursing care in the inpatient ward of Avicenna Bireuen Hospital. Methods: This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from nurses working in the inpatient ward. Univariate analysis was conducted to describe the research variables, while bivariate analysis was used to examine the relationship between workload and nursing care implementation. Results: The univariate analysis showed that 21 respondents (46.7%) experienced a low workload, while 25 respondents (55.6%) demonstrated good implementation of nursing care. The bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between nurses’ workload and the implementation of nursing care (p = 0.001), which was below the significance level of 0.05. Conclusion: Nurses’ workload was significantly associated with the implementation of nursing care. Hospital management should strengthen workload management and provide structured training on standardized nursing care in accordance with Indonesian Ministry of Health guidelines to improve nursing performance and healthcare service quality.
