Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Nursing Studies

Background:

Global nursing work-life balance is compromised by demanding workloads and irregular schedules.
Current strategies to improve nurse work-life balance lack specificity and evidence.
Existing research is limited by conceptual ambiguity and intervention heterogeneity.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review interventions aimed at enhancing work-life balance for nursing professionals.
To evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in improving nurses' work-life balance.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive scoping review was conducted, adhering to the Arksey & O'Malley framework.
Extensive literature searches were performed across multiple databases (Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO) and grey literature.
Twenty-two studies involving registered nurses were included, analyzing intervention types, outcomes, and findings.

Main Results:

Interventions were categorized into four main types: wellness programs, training programs, work digitalization, and work flexibility.
These interventions showed potential in addressing the complex challenges nurses face in balancing professional and personal lives.
Specific findings highlight the impact of digitalization and flexible work arrangements.

Conclusions:

Improving nurse work-life balance requires a multifaceted and comprehensive strategy.
The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions that acknowledge the unique demands on nursing professionals.
Further research is recommended to advance the understanding and application of work-life balance strategies in nursing.
