AI Article Synopsis
- Anxiety has become a prominent issue among nurses, with research focusing on how work-family conflict (WFC) and job satisfaction relate to anxiety levels.
- A survey conducted among 3,770 nurses revealed significant correlations: higher WFC linked to lower job satisfaction and increased anxiety, with job satisfaction playing a partial mediating role in this relationship.
- The findings highlight the need to improve working conditions and support systems for nurses to reduce work-family conflict and promote job satisfaction, ultimately helping to alleviate anxiety.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Over the past decades, anxiety has garnered significant attention from nursing population. Investigations have centered on the correlation between work-family conflict (WFC) and anxiety as well as the link between job satisfaction and anxiety among nurses. However, the role of job satisfaction plays in the relationship between work-family conflict and anxiety remains relatively unexplored.
Methods: In April 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among nurses ( = 3,770) working at the maternal and child health institutions in Henan province, China. Multiple linear regression model was used to explore the factors associated with anxiety. Model 4 in Hayes's PROCESS macro and Bootstrap method was performed to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between work-family conflict and anxiety.
Results: The median (interquartile range) anxiety score was 5.00 (6.00). Work-family conflict was shown to be significantly correlated to job satisfaction ( = -0.517, 0.001) and anxiety ( = 0.457, < 0.01). There was a strong negative correlation between job satisfaction and anxiety ( = -0.379, < 0.01). The study also found that nurses aged 31-40 years, those with a junior college education ( = 0.001), those with an undergraduate or above education ( < 0.001), those who reported experiencing work-family conflict ( < 0.001), and those with lower job satisfaction ( < 0.001) were more likely to experience anxiety. Additionally, job satisfaction partially (* = 20.90%) mediated the relationship between work-family conflict and anxiety.
Conclusion: The association between work-family conflict and anxiety among nurses in maternity and child health institutions was moderated by job satisfaction. Therefore, it is critical to enhance working conditions, minimize work-family conflict, and promoting job satisfaction among nurses may help to mitigate the negative effects of work-family conflict on anxiety.
