Abstract
The life of a nurse since the Covid-19 pandemic is characterized by high rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout, leading national organizations to declare the nursing shortage a national emergency. Solutions cite work-life balance, but this term has no clear guiding definition. Experts in the organizational psychology and personal development literature suggest other ways to reconsider this dilemma, that of integration. In this paper the concept of integration is proposed to focus on relationships with family and friends, work, and oneself. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses 'standards for a healthy work environment are used to frame the benefits of an integrated life. Strategies to achieve an integrated life, one with meaning and purpose, are described to create more happiness and joy and to begin to mitigate the nursing shortage.
自2019冠状病毒病大流行以来，护士的生活特点是焦虑、抑郁和倦怠的高发率，导致国家组织宣布护士短缺为国家紧急情况。解决方案提到了工作与生活的平衡，但这个词没有明确的指导定义。组织心理学和个人发展文献的专家们提出了另一种重新考虑这一困境的方法，即整合。本文提出了整合的概念，主要关注与家人、朋友、工作和自己的关系。美国重症护理护士协会(American Association of Critical-Care Nurses)关于健康工作环境的标准被用来界定综合生活的好处。实现一个完整的生活，一个有意义和目的的战略，描述了创造更多的幸福和快乐，并开始缓解护理短缺。
