Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health issues among nurses, including anxiety, depression, and burnout.
  • These challenges have led to a critical nursing shortage, recognized as a national emergency.
  • The traditional concept of work-life balance lacks a clear definition and effective strategies for nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose the concept of "integration" as a more effective framework for addressing nurse well-being.
  • To explore how integrating relationships, work, and self can enhance nurses' lives.
  • To offer strategies for achieving an integrated life to improve job satisfaction and mitigate the nursing shortage.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of organizational psychology and personal development.
  • Conceptualizing "integration" as a framework for nurses' lives.
  • Utilizing the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses standards for a healthy work environment.

Main Results:

  • "Integration" offers a clearer, more actionable approach than "work-life balance" for nurses.
  • An integrated life, focusing on relationships, work, and self, can foster greater happiness and purpose.
  • Implementing integration strategies can positively impact nurses' mental health and contribute to alleviating the nursing shortage.

Conclusions:

  • Reconceptualizing work-life balance as integration is crucial for supporting nurses' well-being.
  • Achieving an integrated life can lead to increased job satisfaction and reduced burnout among nursing professionals.
  • This approach offers a promising strategy to address the national nursing shortage by improving nurse retention and resilience.
