Purpose
This descriptive correlation study sought to evaluate the mediating effect of nursing work environment on the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention among married female nurses.
Methods
This study enrolled 149 married female nurses employed at a university hospital in G. province J City. For data analysis, the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program and SPSS PROCESS Macro version 4.2 was used.
Results
The mean score of work-family conflict among married female nurses was 2.99±72 out of 5 points, nursing work environment was 2.50±39 out of 4 points, and turnover intention was 3.96±69 out of 5 points. Turnover intention was positively correlated with work-family conflict (r=.34, p<.001), and negatively correlated with nursing work environment (r=-.34, p<.001). The nursing work environment had a parial mediating effect (β=.32, p<.001) on the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention.
Conclusion
Work-family conflict and turnover intention among married female nurses influenced each other, with the nursing work environment having a partial mediating effect. This study can serve as basis for addressing work-family conflict, improving the nursing work environment and reducing turnover among married female nurses.
