Perceived work and family conflict among African American nurses in college
1Rutgers University.
Purpose:
This article describes the perceptions of African American nurses regarding the interaction between work-family conflict, job satisfaction, and psychological well-being.
Design:
A qualitative descriptive design was employed to conduct six focus group sessions with 23 nurses at three universities in the southeastern United States.
Findings:
Stressors such as racism or lack of teamwork and supervisor support caused the nurses to contemplate leaving a workplace or the profession. Family stressors, such as an ill family member, also influenced any decision regarding career longevity.
Implications:
Future studies examining work-family interface, especially positive spillover and psychological well-being are warranted.
