The aim of this study was to explore how first-line nurse managers constructed the meaning of resilience and its relationship to work-life balance for nurses in Korea.
Participants were 20 first-line nurse managers working in six university hospitals. Data were collected through in-depth interviews from December 2011 to August 2012, and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method.
Analysis revealed that participants perceived work-life balance and resilience to be shaped by dynamic, reflective processes. The features consisting resilience included "positive thinking", "flexibility", "assuming responsibility", and "separating work and life". This perception of resilience has the potential to facilitate a shift in focus from negative to positive experiences, from rigidity to flexibility, from task-centered to person-centered thinking, and from the organization to life.
Recognizing the importance of work-life balance in producing and sustaining resilience in first-line nurse managers could increase retention in the Korean nursing workforce.
本研究旨在探讨韩国一线护士长如何构建适应力的意义及其与护士工作生活平衡的关系。
研究对象为在六所大学医院工作的20名一线护士长。2011年12月至2012年8月通过深度访谈收集数据，并采用施特劳斯和柯宾的扎根理论方法进行分析。
分析表明，参与者认为工作生活平衡和适应力是由动态的、反思性的过程塑造的。构成适应力的特征包括“积极思考”“灵活性”“承担责任”和“工作与生活分离”。这种对适应力的认知有可能促使关注点从消极体验转向积极体验，从僵化转向灵活，从以任务为中心的思维转向以人为本的思维，从关注组织转向关注生活。
认识到工作生活平衡在培养和维持一线护士长适应力方面的重要性，可能会提高韩国护理人员队伍的留存率。
