Correlation analysis between clinical nurses' work connectivity behavior and work-family conflict

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the current status of clinical nurses' work connectivity behavior and work-family conflict，as well as the correlation between the two，in order to provide reference for improving the work connectivity behavior and work-family conflict of clinical nurses. Methods From December 2024 to January 2025，a convenience sample of 1 253 clinical nurses was recruited from 11 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province. A survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire，a work connectivity behavior scale，and a work family conflict scale，and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of clinical nurses' work connectivity behavior was （33.82±8.93）points，with an average item score of （2.60±0.69）points. The total score of work-family conflict was （46.96±15.05）points，with an average item score of （2.61±0.84）points. The clinical nurses' work connectivity behavior was positively correlated with work-family conflict（r=0.451，P<0.01），which explained 24.9% of the variation in work-family conflict among clinical nurses. Conclusion Both work connectivity behavior and work-family conflict among clinical nurses need to be improved，and the positive correlation between the two suggests that nursing managers can reduce work-family conflict by lowering work connectivity behavior.
