Background: The purpose of this descriptive study is to investigate nurses’ social support, health status, grit, and work-life balance and identify the factors affecting their work-life balance.
Methods: The subjects in this study were 203 nurses working in a university hospital. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficients, independent t-test, one- way analysis of variance, Scheffe’s test, and multi- ple linear regression.
Results: The study revealed significant relationships between work-life balance and social support (r=0.39, P<0.001), health status (r=0.69, P<0.001), and grit (r=0.36, P<0.001). Factors influencing work-life balance were health status (β=0.57), grit (β=0.17), social support (β=0.14), and work experience (β=-0.12). The ex- planatory power of the regression model was 51.2%, and the model was statistically significant (F=43.45, P<0.001).
Conclusions: This study suggests that it is necessary to include, in the intervention strategy for nurses’ work-life balance, methods to improve their health status, grit, and social support. A balanced work-life for nurses can help them satisfactorily perform professional services while managing the nursing organization stably and, ulti- mately, help them grow into professional nurses in the future.
