Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of social support on work-family conflict and psychological control ability of nurses. Methods 126 women nurses from four general hospitals by the method of random cluster sampling were divided into two groups according to the scores of the social sup-port scale(SSRS). Nurses with score lower than 35 were set as low social support group(totally 38 nurses), nurses with score higher than 45 were named as high social support group(46 nurses).The two groups were assessed by SSRS, work-family conflict scale (WFCS) and IPC respectively. The results underwent stati-s-tical analysis with t test, χ2 test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results The age and nurses' work-ing age in high social support group were significantly higher than that of the low social support group, the to-tal score of WFCS,the time,pressure and behavior score of subscales in high social support group were sig-nificanfly lower than that of the low social support group. The internality was higher, while the power-ful others and chance were lower in high social support group than those of low social support group. SSRS was negatively correlated with all factors of WFCS, positively correlated with internality factor of IPC, neg-atively correlated with powerful others and chance factors of IPC. Conclusions The nurses with high SSRS have low work-family conflict score and strong psychological control ability, so we should strengthen the social support of nurses.
