Abstract

Background: Work-life integration has been extensively researched in various contexts. Women dominate the nursing profession, but work-life integration is essential for men and women since both are expected to focus equally on their families and careers. The nursing faculty perceives nurse educators' work environment as undervalued, lacking support, and limited time to grow and carry the heavy workload.

Method: A qualitative meta-synthesis of studies between 2013 and 2023 was conducted using ScienceDirect, EBSCO Host, Sage and Sabinet databases. Seven articles related to the research phenomenon were retrieved.

Conclusion: The resulting themes revolved around two central aspects: nurse educators' work and life integration. Nurse educators face various challenges with work-life integration and often view their failure as a personal rather than a societal issue. However, as much as achieving work-life integration is personal, there is a call for employers in academic environments to improve workplace policies, like better-paid maternity leave, affordable quality childcare, and social support. Furthermore, nurse educators' line managers should display warmth and encouragement about personal challenges affecting nurse educators.

护士教育工作者的工作与生活融合:元综合。
背景:在各种情况下,人们对工作与生活的融合进行了广泛的研究。女性在护理行业中占主导地位,但工作与生活的融合对男性和女性都至关重要,因为他们都要同样关注家庭和事业。护理教师认为,护士教育者的工作环境价值被低估、缺乏支持、成长时间有限、工作量繁重:使用 ScienceDirect、EBSCO Host、Sage 和 Sabinet 数据库对 2013 年至 2023 年间的研究进行了定性元综合。检索到七篇与研究现象相关的文章:得出的主题围绕两个核心方面:护士教育者的工作与生活融合。护士教育工作者在工作与生活的融合方面面临着各种挑战,他们往往将失败视为个人问题而非社会问题。然而,正如实现工作与生活的融合是个人问题一样,人们也呼吁学术环境中的雇主改善工作场所政策,如带薪产假、负担得起的优质托儿服务和社会支持。此外,护士教育工作者的部门经理应该对影响护士教育工作者的个人挑战表现出热情和鼓励。
