Abstract

Purpose: Nurses’ working environment poses various challenges that lead to conflict between work- and family-related roles. Work-family and family-work conflicts (WFCs and FWCs) negatively affect nurses’ well-being and patient outcomes. Thus, the current study examined the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention on WFC and FWC among nurses. Method: A randomized controlled trial, pre–post-test design was used in the current study. A total of 123 nurses were recruited and randomly assigned to the intervention ( n = 60) and control ( n = 63) groups. Findings: Multivariate analysis showed that there was a statistically significant effect of the intervention on the linear combination of the dependent variables V = 0.1, F (2, 120) = 6.61, p < .01. The analyses showed that the mean difference of the WFCs and FWCs scores was significant with the intervention group showing lower mean scores than the control group. In addition, both groups showed higher work-family conflict mean scores compared to the FWC. Discussion: The findings of this study showed that the mindfulness-based intervention significantly improved nurses’ WFCs and FWCs. The results should be considered when planning for nurses’ well-being and the quality of care being provided to promote holistic nursing care.

以正念为基础的干预对护士家庭-工作和工作-家庭冲突的影响：随机对照试验

目的:护士的工作环境带来了各种挑战，导致工作和家庭相关角色之间的冲突。工作-家庭和家庭-工作冲突(WFCs和FWCs)会对护士的幸福感和患者的治疗结果产生负面影响。因此，本研究考察了正念干预对护士WFC和FWC的有效性。方法:采用随机对照试验，前后试验设计。共招募123名护士，随机分为干预组(n = 60)和对照组(n = 63)。结果:多因素分析显示，干预对因变量线性组合的影响有统计学意义，V = 0.1, F (2,120) = 6.61, p < 0.01。分析显示，wfc和FWCs评分的平均差异有统计学意义，干预组的平均得分低于对照组。此外，与FWC相比，两组都显示出更高的工作-家庭冲突平均得分。讨论:本研究结果显示，正念干预显著提高了护士的wfc和FWCs。在规划护士的福祉和所提供的护理质量时应考虑这些结果，以促进整体护理。

期刊介绍： Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
