Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of psychological distress in the relationship between work-family conflict and nurse managers' (NMs') professional and organizational turnover intentions.
Background: Work-family conflict is prevalent among NMs. It can have a significant impact on their intent to leave their organization and the profession. However, the role of psychological distress as a potential mediator in the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intentions has not been studied in the context of NMs.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, and data were collected from a sample of 260 NMs using self-report questionnaires.
Results: NMs experienced a moderate level of work-family conflict and psychological distress. Organizational turnover intention was moderate, whereas professional turnover intention was low. Higher levels of work-family conflict among NMs contributed to increased psychological distress, which, in effect, influenced their desire to leave the organization.
Conclusion: To support NMs and mitigate turnover intentions, healthcare organizations need to prioritize the creation of a work environment that promotes work-life balance and reduces psychological distress.
