“…This indicated that job demands increased the level of work-life imbalance, regardless of work or personal life. In this regard, the results were in agreement with findings from previous studies (Beham et al 2011, Lembrechts et al 2015. Overall, job demands are a major source of work-life imbalance among RNs.…”

“…Nursing is considered an inherently demanding occupation. Not only are nurses exposed to a variety of job stressors such as pain and death, high emotional expectations of patients, demanding and nonstandard job schedules and work overload but also often lack adequate resources to deal with these stressors (Allen & Mellor, ; Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, & Schaufeli, ; Lembrechts, Dekocker, Zanoni, & Pulignano, ; Van Bogaert et al, ). In many developing countries, demands on nurses are exacerbated by shortage in the number of nurses due to factors such as ageing, poor salaries and limited career prospects for nurses (Mason, Leavitt, & Chaffee, ; Yildirim & Aycan, ).…”

Juggling family and professional caring: Role demands, work–family conflict and burnout among registered nurses in Ghana

et al. 2018

AimJuggling work and family responsibilities remains an important concern for both employees and organizations. This study aimed at examining work and family demands as predictors of work–family conflict and the relationship between work–family conflict and burnout among registered nurses in Ghana.DesignThe study adopted a cross‐sectional survey design.MethodsData were collected from a sample of 134 registered nurses selected from five public hospitals in Accra through convenience sampling. Participants responded to structured questionnaires that assessed, among others, experiences of work–family conflict and burnout.ResultsMultiple regression analyses showed that long work hours and weekend schedules were associated with higher levels of work‐to‐family conflict, while the number of older dependants at home was positively related to family‐to‐work conflict. Family‐to‐work conflict was positively related to burnout, while work‐to‐family conflict was not significantly related to burnout.

“…Overall, support from management and colleagues were considered. Lembrechts et al (2014) found that physician and co-worker support significantly decreased WFC in nurses, whereas Cortese et al (2010) found that only supportive management was correlated with WFC and not colleagues' support. Yildirim and Yacan (2008) observed that social support from supervisors was directly associated with lower WFC and higher job satisfaction, but not with life satisfaction.…”

Independent mood traits comprise three primary components -pleasure, arousal, and dominance (Mehrabian, 1996). Forecasting these traits is beneficial for several subjects, such as behavioral science, cognitive science, decision making, mood disorders treatment, and virtual character development in artificial intelligence. In this study, an extended model is proposed to predict independent mood components based on the emotion and mood history of 108 individuals with different backgrounds and personalities. Emotion history of all these individuals was recorded hourwise for six days, and their daily mood history obtained. The proposed model consists of various types of statistical forecasting methods, such as Holt-Winter's additive model and seasonal time series model, by integrating current known appraisal theories and aided by mood history probability distribution. The predicted values for the seventh day and the trend of the outcome results reveal that: (1) Pleasure mood trait trend varies significantly between individuals, but it can be considered as predictable; (2) Arousal mood trait is unpredictable for a short time interval; however, it is possible to have close predictions over long time intervals. (3) Dominance mood trait can be predicted for a short time interval, but not for a long time interval. These findings can shed light on the way mood states and behavior of human beings can be predicted.As expected, personality traits of these individuals differed significantly from each other. As soon as the OCEAN personality traits of the individuals were obtained, their initial PAD traits were also measured by the mapping explained in section 2.2. For example, for one of the individuals Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism were found to be 0.65, 0.97, 0.35, 0.60, and 0.45, respectively. Therefore, by using the mentioned mapping from OCEAN personality traits to PAD (Mehrabian, 1996; Gebhard, 2004), the participant's initial pleasure, arousal, and dominance traits were found to be 0.51, 0.02, and 0.34, respectively. Table 1 made it possible to create time series data for emotion states regarding PAD mood traits. Different types of time series forecasting models were suggested by using SPSS for each mood component of each individual with 95 percent confidence. It has been observed that the trends for pleasure mood component differed significantly from one person to another, but it had a predictable direction for more than 98 percent of individuals. On The mapping illustrated in

Abstract: To retain and attract nurses by reducing work-to-family conflict, hospitals should not (only) rely on work-family policies but should also invest in organisational support and adapted job dimensions.
