“…Secondly, role conflicts was found to be negatively correlated with job satisfaction, which is consistent with previous reports [9,10,21]. The present study further demonstrated the presence of work-family-school role conflicts in RNs enrolled in a nursing education program.…”

“…The association between work-family conflict and job satisfaction was well cited in nursing literature [7][8][9]. Reducing conflict between family and work roles can improve the quality and productivity of nursing, which will in turn improve job satisfaction [8,10]. Both work-to-family and family-to-work role conflicts were found to be negatively correlated with job satisfaction, with work-to-family role conflict having a greater affect than family-to-work role conflict on job satisfaction among RNs in mainland China [7,9].…”

Registered nurses perform multiple roles in their lives at work, at home, and at school when they decide to pursue various types of advanced degrees. Work-family conflict was found to be negatively correlated with job satisfaction among nurses. This study aimed to determine the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between role conflicts and job satisfaction among registered nurses in mainland China. The study had a cross-sectional correlational design. Convenience sampling was applied to recruit 320 nurses with multiple roles from 8 nursing universities and 3 hospitals in China between January and August 2017. SPSS (version 20.0) software and PROCESS program was used to examine to moderating effect of social support between the relationship of role conflicts and job satisfaction. It was found that role conflicts were negatively correlated with job satisfaction. Support from work and support from family negatively moderated the relationship between role conflicts and job satisfaction. These findings suggest that support from family, coworkers and nursing administrators, and the implementation of school-and family-friendly policies would help nurses who are pursuing further nursing degrees to handle their multiple roles and improve their job satisfaction.

“…International studies show that nursing staff in most countries face a relatively unsatisfactory work environment, and experience a lot of work-related stress (Ding, 2018). These pressures include high mental and physical stress, scheduling or irregular shifts in working hours, limited promotion of work and social-emotional stress with respect to patients and partners (Ding et al, 2018;Ibrahim , 2016). The results showed that the amount of work pressure on nurses had negative consequences on their families and social problems and had caused disruption in social activities with their partners.…”

Work and family problems are important in the life of a nurse that causes conflict between work and family. This work-family conflict requires satisfaction in marriage and satisfaction in work. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between work-family conflict with marital satiction and between work-family conflict and job satisfaction. This research is survey research. The population in this study were nurses who worked in hospital X in Purwokerto with a sample of 40 people (men = 6 people and 34 women). The instruments used in this study were the scale of work-family conflict, the scale of job satisfaction and scale of marital satisfaction. The results of the data analysis showed a negative and significant contradiction between work-family conflict and marital satisfaction. This means that the higher the workfamily conflict, the lower the marital satisfaction. The same results were also found in conflicts between family work and job satisfaction, namely, there were those who argued negatively and significantly between family work conflicts and job satisfaction. These results can explain how roles in the family and workplace influence each other. Therefore, nurses must balance roles in the family and roles in the workplace to reduce family conflict. Decreased workfamily conflict will ultimately increase satisfaction in marriage and satisfaction in the workplace.

The aim of the study was to modify and test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the work control scale (C-WCS). Methods: The translated scale was administered to 840 nurses in Shanghai. Validity was assessed in terms of content validity and construct validity using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency and testeretest reliability were estimated using Cronbach a and the intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: Psychometric analyses of the C-WCS indicate high reliability and good content and construct validity. Conclusion:The C-WCS has good psychometric properties and can be used as a valid tool for measuring work control among nurses in China. The C-WCS will help to further explore the correlations between perceived work control and organizational quality indicators such as nurses' satisfaction, job stress, wellbeing, or intention to stay. It can also be used in nursing outcome studies of work control strategies.
