“…One study in Iran revealed that as many as 93% of nurses reported that their level of work–family conflict was moderate to high (Zandian et al., 2020). Work–family conflict is an established stressor in nursing (Gonnelli & Raffagnino, 2017) that affects physical and mental health (Gonnelli & Raffagnino, 2017) and quality of life of nursing staff (Zandian et al., 2020), and may lead to burnout at work and a high staff turnover rate (Asiedu et al., 2018). A meta‐analysis including 106 studies supported this hypothesis that work–family conflict contributes substantially to high turnover rates among nurses (Nei et al., 2015).…”

Aim To investigate the association between work–family conflicts and career development with resilience among nurses. Background Nurses tend to have high levels of work–family conflict. Resilience may affect their individual career development, the stability of the nursing team and the quality of nursing care. Methods A cross‐sectional survey using correlational design was conducted in mainland China. Data were collected using demographic and career development questionnaire, work–family conflict and resilience scale. Results A total of 70,932 nurses were included. The total score for work–family conflict was relatively high (38.37 ± 12.82). Work–family conflict of nurses had a significant negative correlation with career development (r = –0.35, p < .001) and with resilience (r = –0.23, p < .001), while resilience had a significant positive correlation with career development (r = 0.62, p < .001). Resilience plays a mediating role between work–family conflict and career development. Conclusions The work–family conflict had a significant negative correlation with career development among nurses. Resilience has a mediating role between work–family conflict and career development. Nursing managers could reduce the level of work–family conflict by enhancing nurses’ resilience. Implications for nursing management Nursing managers should prioritize the improvement of resilience through training and education, enhancing nurses’ ability to address work–family conflicts.

“…For instance, among reviewed researches we have not found any papers concerning emotional regulation or emotional intelligence, which have been considered key factors for nursing health and well-being [12]. In addition, the balance between work and private life has been mentioned to a certain extent, but no research has been carried out concerning the work-family conflict, which is important in nursing research [75].…”

The purpose of this paper is to present findings of an integrative literature review relatedto health and wellbeing of nurses with leadership and management functions and its associated factors, in order to provide the best available evidence on this topic. A large body of knowledge related to nursing health and well-being exists, but little we know about this topic in a nurse leadership and management role. It is a complex role in nursing that implies both clinical and leadership knowledge and abilities. A comprehensive search of electronic databases, focusing on articles published in English and Italian languages during 2009-2018, was completed. A three-step approach was used and from the original 1345 studies, 17 papers were included in this systematic literature review. Two independent reviewers analyzed these papers for critical appraisal on methodological quality and their topics. Narrative synthesis of the empirical literature allowed highlighting the most important results related to the topic investigated. This integrative review has shown that nurse leader and manager roles are stressful mainly for its specific functions and job demands. Directions for future high-quality research are suggested both to deepen the relative importance of the specific risk and protective health factors in nursing leadership roles. repeated, these stressors can negatively affect nurses' physical and mental health and their well-being. In literature, burnout syndrome is widely documented [1].It is a maladaptive psychological and behavioral response to chronic emotional and interpersonal work-related stressors and it comprises emotional exhaustion or loss of emotional resources and energy, depersonalization or insensitivity, negative and cynical attitude, and lack of compassion towards fellow workers and the healthcare users, as well as loss of feeling of personal accomplishment [2]. Other than burnout, many studies observed also the presence of occupational fatigue (acute, chronic, physical and mental states) in nursing that arises due to the excessive job demands requested to such healthcare professionals [3], the psychological and physiological distress [4], depression [5], insufficient/poor-quality sleep [6] [7], and due to poor job satisfaction [8]. The associations between stressful work situations and health and well-being outcomes are varied and complex. In fact, stressful outcomes depend on different personal and job factors. For instance, certain researchers refer to the imbalance among work tasks assigned and work rewards [9], others refer to personal resources, such as emotional intelligence, emotional regulation, empathy, resilience [10] [11] [12] [13]. Beyond these personal variables, social, relational and interpersonal dimensions, such as social support and efficient leadership also seem to be protective factors of nurse health and well-being [14] [15] [16].In the healthcare sector, nurses work in different settings, and occupy different professional roles, and thus the various stressors and job resources can ...

“…The psychosocial hazard that is often experienced by mothers who work as nurses is an imbalance between work and family due to multiple roles. The results of a review by Gonnelli and Raffagnino in 2017 showed that work-family conflict is a stressor in nursing and is the most analyzed risk factor in the workplace (Gonnelli, 2017). Conflicts that occur in nursing staff are supported by the results of a study by Agustian in 2015 which showed that there were 83.6% of nursing staff having high intrapersonal conflicts, these conflicts could come from patients, families or coworkers.…”

Background: Mothers who work as nurses are one of the vulnerable groups and are at risk of imbalance of roles in work and family due to multiple roles. The dual role requires working mothers to carry out their duties as mothers and wives at home, while at work can carry out duties as nurses. This is a stressor for mothers who work as nurses in adapting to their roles. This condition can reduce family well-being by decreasing the relationship of family structure, the ability of the role and function of the mother in the family, and the ability to prevent family vulnerability. Interventions that can be carried out to improve the family well-being are Mindfulness STOP (Stop, Take a Breath, Observed, Proceed). Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness on family well-being in mothers who work as nurses at X Hospital Semarang. Method: The design of this study was a quasi-experiment pre-post test with a control group, involving 52 respondents obtained by purposive sampling technique based on the results of inclusion criteria screening, consisting of 26 respondents in the intervention group (given Mindfulness exercises) and 26 respondents in the control group (without treatment). Mindfulness STOP is given for 4 sessions totaling 4 meetings in 1 month. Data analysis used Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: The results of this study are mindfulness effect on improving family well-being in the intervention group of mothers who work as nurses with a p-value of 0.000.
