This study aimed at exploring the factors associated with workload and motherhood anxiety in female nurses who have children. This study used cross-sectional survey and convenience sampling method for recruiting female nurses who have children from a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. The nursing workload scale and the motherhood anxiety scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed the grand mean of workload scores was 38.56 and grand mean of motherhood anxiety scores was 67.90. Multivariate linear regression of workload showed significant factors were that the current institution service years 10.1-15.0 (p=0.009) years and 15.1-20 years (p<0.001) were respectively higher than 0.5-5 years, and the leaders were lower than that of nurses (p=0.024), the married people were higher than that of unmarried/single parents (p=0.001), and maternal anxiety was positively correlated with workload (p<0.001). In terms of motherhood anxiety, those with 15.1-20.0 years of service in the current institution were lower than 0.5-5 years (p=0.004), the non-shift workers were lower than the shift workers (p=0.006), the married parents were lower than that of the unmarried/single parents (p=0.011), and work load was positively correlated with motherhood anxiety (p<0.001). Conclusion: Current institution's working experience, job title, working class and marital status are associated with workload and motherhood anxiety among nurses with children. A positive relationship is existed between workload and motherhood anxiety. In practice, it is possible to regularly evaluate the nursing workload of different seniority, adjust appropriate rest and give a reasonable salary increase; provide parenting education courses to balance family and work. |
