“…Our results of the negative correlation between work-family conflict and overall well-being are consistent with previous studies conducted among nurse staffs in various populations (Burke & Greenglass, 1999;Fang, 2017;Ghislieri et al, 2017;Gipson-Jones, 2009;Makola et al, 2015;Neto et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2012). Compared with the average scores of 71.0 ± 18.0 for the overall well-being and 49.3 ± 10.8 for the work-family conflict that were reported in two previous studies from China (Ding et al, 2017;Mu, Chen, & Zhang, 2016), the relatively higher overall well-being (81.2 ± 10.9) and lower work-family conflict (39.1 ± 10.3) scores have been reported in the current study.…”

“…The overall well-being, which reflects happiness and quality of life, is becoming an increasingly important indicator and has been associated with higher professional initiatives (Hervás & Vázquez, 2013;Sparks, Corcoran, Nabors, & Hovanitz, 2005). A few studies, primarily conducted in Western populations (Burke & Greenglass, 1999;Fang, 2017;Ghislieri, Gatti, Molino, & Cortese, 2017;Gipson-Jones, 2009;Makola, Mashegoane, & Debusho, 2015;Neto et al, 2016;Wang, Chang, Fu, & Wang, 2012), have shown that work-family conflict is negatively associated with the overall well-being of staff nurses. Compared with Western countries, work-life balance has received less attention in Asian countries (Chandra, 2012).…”

Due to the rapid economic development in China, the burden of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, has skyrocketed at an alarming rate (Hu & Jia, 2018). Together with the emerging ageing population, the growing demands of medical care have posed significant challenges to medical providers in China (Mocan, Tekin, & Zax, 2004). Moreover, China has experienced acute shortages in the number of health care professionals in recent years, especially nurses (Wu, Zhao, & Ye, 2016). In 2013, there were 2.05 nurses per 1,000 people in China, which is below the global average of 2.86 (Wu et al., 2016). As frontline caregivers, nurses have extensive duties in clinical practice, which involve strenuous shifts, physical labour and emotional labour. Nurses have a unique position that requires caregiving, planning, management, educating and coordinating. Aside from work, nurses also have important roles in their families as children, spouses and parents when they get home. Work and family are the two priorities of life, and if a person does not effectively coordinate the association between them, the two priorities will become conflicting. Work-family conflict means that work and family roles are incompatible. Managing both the roles at the same time is difficult. There are two kinds of work-family conflict situations: (a) work interfering with family and (b) family interfering

“…The reliability at the cutoff point was estimated using Livingston's K 2 coefficient [75,76], which, conceptually, can be interpreted as the percentage of cases that would be classified in the same category if they responded to the same test again [77]. To calculate K 2 , we used the variance (23.42) and average (20.23) of the test scores, its Cronbach's alpha (0.76), and the cutoff point value (25). A K 2 coefficient of 0.87 was obtained.…”

Aims: Burnout syndrome is a phenomenon that is becoming ever more widespread, especially in workers such as nurses who have heavy workloads and time pressures. The progression of burnout syndrome has been shown to be related to both individual and work-related variables. The objective of this study is to examine the risk and protective roles played by work-related and personal variables, both sociodemographic and psychological, in the development of burnout in nurses. Method: The sample was composed of 1236 nurses aged between 21 and 57 years, with a mean age of 31.50 years (SD = 6.18). Women accounted for 84.5% (n = 1044), and the remaining 15.5% (n = 192) were men. Exploratory tests were performed to understand the relationships between burnout and other variables, and a binary logistic regression was conducted to understand the roles of these variables in the incidence of this syndrome. Lastly, a regression tree was constructed. Results: The results show that the sociodemographic variables examined are not related to the level of burnout in nurses. However, certain work-related variables, such as spending more time with colleagues and patients and reporting good-quality relationships, exhibit a negative relationship with the occurrence of burnout. Of the psychological variables, the stress factors conflict-social acceptance and irritability-tension-fatigue, as well as informative communication, are shown to be risk factors for the appearance of burnout in nurses. In contrast, the communication skills factor, empathy, and energy-joy exert a protective function. Conclusion: Identifying the variables that influence the occurrence of burnout syndrome and understanding the manner in which they exert their influence are key elements in the development of effective prevention and intervention of burnout in nursing.

“…Several researchers argued that besides supervisor support, the implementation of family-friendly policies that allows employees to negotiate work requirements and flexible working hours could improve employee well-being and reduce turnover intentions (Dong, 2012;Pan, 2018). In China, the inflexible and excessive working hours among nurses could lead to negative perceptions as unsupportive supervisors which eventually decrease employees' well-being since they are required to spend more time at work (Fang et al, 2015;Fang, 2017). Thus, we propose that supervisor support Besides, there is a positive spillover effect among nurses from active work-related scenarios to private life (Agosti et al, 2015).…”

These studies investigate how approaches to work-life balance, such as flexible working hours, supervisor support, lifelong learning and manpower shortages, affect nurses' well-being (job and life satisfaction, organizational commitment). According to Tanaka et al. (2011), nurses in Japan demand flexible working hours and quality of life benefits as essential work-life balance practices; however, these practices are rarely implemented in organizations, while Dousin, Collins, Bartram, et al. (2021) discovered that gender norms, workplace collegiality and medical professional shortages have a significant impact on work-life balancing experiences among nurses in Malaysia.
