子育て中の女性看護職のワーク・ファミリー・コンフリクトと職務満足度との関係

Relationship between Work-Family Conflict and Job Satisfaction among Female Nurses Raising Children

要　　旨

　【目的】子育て中の女性看護職を対象とし、Work-Family Conflict（以下、WFCとする）と職務満足度との関係性を明らかにすること。

　【方法】200 床以上の急性期病床を有する病院に勤務する0〜 6歳の子どもを持つ女性看護職2020名を対象とし、調査項目は、対象者の属性、Work-Family Conflict Scale 日本語版、看護職の職務満足度尺度とした。分析は、職務満足度を従属変数、WFCの6つの下位尺度を独立変数とし、重回帰分析を行った。

　【結果】554人より有効回答が得られた（有効回答率84.3%）。WFCの下位尺度では【時間WorkInterference with Family（以下、WIF とする）】（β=─.109、p=.024）、【ストレスWIF】（β=─.146、p=.004）、【ストレスFamily Interference with Work（ 以下、FIWとする）】（β=─.094、p=.037）、【行動FIW】（β=─.147、p=.006）が職務満足度に影響を与えた。

　【結論】子育て中の女性看護職は、WFCの下位尺度のうち【時間WIF】【ストレスWIF】【ストレスFIW】【行動FIW】が職務満足に負の影響を与えていた。就労継続支援には組織的なサポート体制の構築と、看護職の専門性への評価的サポートが効果的である。

　Objective: To clarify the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) and job satisfaction among female nurses who are raising children.

　Methods: 2,020 female nurses with children aged 0-6 years working in hospitals with 200 or more acute-care beds were included in the study. The survey items were the subject's attributes, the Japanese version of the Work-family Conflict Scale, and the nurses' job satisfaction scale. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with job satisfaction as the dependent variable and the six subscales of the WFC as independent variables.

　Results: Valid responses were obtained from 554 respondents (valid response rate 84.3%), and the WFC subscales were [Time WIF] (β = ─.109, p = .024), [Stress WIF] (β = ─.146, p = .004), [Stress FIW] (β = ─.094, p = .037), and [Behavior FIW] (β = ─.147, p = .006) influenced job satisfaction.

　Conclusion: Female nurses raising children reported that the following sub-scales of the WFC had a negative impact on job satisfaction: Time WIF, Stress WIF, Stress FIW, and Behavior FIW. Organizational support systems and evaluative support for the professionalism of nurses are effective measures for supporting continued employment.
