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.
