While nursing homes increase, the number of registered nurses (RNs) working there continues to decline. This study explored the effects of resilience, burnout, and work-related physical distress on the work-life balance of RNs to improve retention rates.
This cross-sectional study involved 155 RNs working in 37 nursing homes, spread across 10 South Korean cities. Data were collected from May to July 2019 using self-report questionnaires, with items relating to general and work-related characteristics, work-life balance, resilience, and burnout. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting participants' work-life balance, including variables that showed significant results in univariate analysis. All analyses were performed using the PASW SPSS win 26.0 program.
Participants' average age was 48.48 years, and they had been working as RNs for 17.36 years on average. Work-related physical pain was reported by 70.3% of participants. Resilience had a positive correlation with work-life balance (r = 0.38; P < .001), whereas burnout had a negative correlation with work-life balance (r = -0.45; P < .001). Work-related physical pain (β = -0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], -25.89 to -7.48), resilience (β = 0.20; 95% CI, 0.02-0.70), and burnout (β = -0.33; 95% CI, -0.9 to -0.24) affected participants' work-life balance.
Interventions to facilitate work-life balance among nursing home RNs must aim to increase resilience and reduce burnout and work-related physical pain. A healthy work-life balance should improve RN retention in nursing homes, boosting the safety and quality of life of residents in turn.
随着养老院数量的增加，在那里工作的注册护士（RN）数量继续下降。本研究探讨了韧性、倦怠和与工作相关的身体不适对 RN 工作-生活平衡的影响，以提高留用率。
本横断面研究涉及韩国 10 个城市的 37 家养老院的 155 名 RN。数据于 2019 年 5 月至 7 月间通过自填式问卷收集，内容包括一般和与工作相关的特征、工作-生活平衡、韧性和倦怠。采用多元回归分析确定影响参与者工作-生活平衡的因素，包括单变量分析中显示显著结果的变量。所有分析均使用 PASW SPSS win 26.0 程序进行。
参与者的平均年龄为 48.48 岁，平均从事 RN 工作 17.36 年。70.3%的参与者报告存在与工作相关的身体疼痛。韧性与工作-生活平衡呈正相关（r = 0.38；P <.001），而倦怠与工作-生活平衡呈负相关（r = -0.45；P <.001）。与工作相关的身体疼痛（β = -0.27；95%置信区间[CI]，-25.89 至-7.48）、韧性（β = 0.20；95% CI，0.02-0.70）和倦怠（β = -0.33；95% CI，-0.9 至-0.24）影响了参与者的工作-生活平衡。
为养老院的 RN 促进工作-生活平衡而实施的干预措施必须旨在提高韧性、减少倦怠和与工作相关的身体疼痛。健康的工作-生活平衡应提高 RN 在养老院的留用率，从而提高居民的安全性和生活质量。
