Married female nurses experience work-family conflict (WFC) as they manage excessive work and various working-hour types while rearing children and tending household chores, and as a result, they continuously constantly deliberate over quitting their job or moving to a different workplace. Married nurses were found to have shorter sleep duration and sleep latency compared to single nurses, and high job stress not only hinders their family life but also causes sleep problems. Depression is a classic negative emotion experienced by married working women who must manage both work and family. This study aims to examine WFC in married female nurses and investigate its predictors, namely depression and sleep quality. A total of 229 married female nurses completed a Google questionnaire link consisting of the Work-Family Conflict Scale, Sleep-Quality Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, -test, ANOVA, LSD post hoc test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. The average WFC score was 4.84 ± 1.12 (range 1-7); WFC showed a statistical difference according to a stage of the lifecycle (F = 7.12, = 0.001) and perceived health (F = 12.01, < 0.001). WFC was low among those in the non-parenthood stage of the lifecycle (β = -0.26, < 0.001), those with good (β = -0.18, = 0.011) or moderate perceived health (β = -0.15, = 0.023), and those without turnover intention (β = -0.13, = 0.016). On the other hand, WFC was high among those who were extremely dissatisfied with their job (β = 0.16, = 0.008) and those who had a high level of depression (β = 0.22, = 0.002); these variables explained 20.2% of WFC (F = 7.663, < 0.001). Based on these results, subsequent studies should develop and implement coping programs that help reduce WFC and improve depression and sleep quality in married female nurses.
已婚女护士在照顾子女和家务的同时，还要应对过多的工作和各种工作时间类型，因此她们不断考虑辞职或换工作。与单身护士相比，已婚护士的睡眠时间和入睡潜伏期更短，而高工作压力不仅会影响她们的家庭生活，还会导致睡眠问题。抑郁是已婚职业女性的一种典型负性情绪，她们必须兼顾工作和家庭。本研究旨在探讨已婚女护士的工作-家庭冲突（WFC）情况，并调查其预测因子，即抑郁和睡眠质量。共有 229 名已婚女护士完成了一份谷歌问卷链接，内容包括工作-家庭冲突量表、睡眠质量量表和中心流行病学研究抑郁量表（CES-D）。使用 SPSS/WIN 26.0 程序通过描述性统计、t 检验、方差分析、LSD 事后检验、皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归对数据进行分析。平均 WFC 评分为 4.84±1.12（范围 1-7）；WFC 根据生命周期阶段（F=7.12，=0.001）和感知健康状况（F=12.01，<0.001）存在统计学差异。生命周期中非育儿阶段（β=-0.26，<0.001）、感知健康良好（β=-0.18，=0.011）或中等（β=-0.15，=0.023）和没有离职意向的护士（β=-0.13，=0.016）的 WFC 较低。另一方面，对工作极度不满（β=0.16，=0.008）和抑郁程度高（β=0.22，=0.002）的护士 WFC 较高；这些变量解释了 20.2%的 WFC（F=7.663，<0.001）。基于这些结果，后续研究应制定和实施应对方案，帮助减少已婚女护士的 WFC 并改善抑郁和睡眠质量。
