Objective:
To evaluate the impact of dual presence (work-family conflict) on the physical and mental health of working women.
Design:
Systematic literature review following the PRISMA Declaration (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses).
Data Sources:
Searches were conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
Selection Of Studies:
The search strategy followed the PECO model (Population, Exposure, Comparison, Outcome), using terms such as "Women", "Working", "Health", and "Work-Family Conflict (WFC)". Studies addressing the relationship between dual presence and women's health were included.
Data Extraction:
The methodological quality of studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.
Results:
A total of 21 studies were included. Dual presence was associated with both the volume of domestic-family work and paid employment conditions, as well as psychosocial exposures related to work organization. Dual presence may increase the risk of physical and mental health problems in women, particularly when combined with additional occupational risk factors.
Conclusions:
Dual presence is a significant determinant of working women's health. Addressing this issue is essential in the development of occupational health and labor policies.
