Investigating the relationship between work-family conflict and resilience with nurses' self-compassion

Self-compassion means being affected by one's own suffering and accepting it, the tendency to relieve one's suffering and to treat yourself kindly. In compassion, instead of thinking about yourself, you need to know how to be yourself and how to treat yourself, especially when faced with adversity and failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between work-family conflict and resilience with nurses' self-compassion.

This research is a descriptive-correlation research with applied nature in 2020. Statistical population including nurses of Shiraz private hospitals and sample size was calculated using Cochran formula of 143 patients. Samples were selected using simple random sampling. In this study, a total of 18 researcher-made questionnaires were presented, of which 6 were related to work-family conflict variable, 7 were resiliency, and 5 were self-compassion, whose validity and reliability were confirmed; also for data analysis from networks Artificial neural and Spearman tests were used.

The mean scores of nurses' evaluation of work-family conflict were 4.56 out of 5 with a standard deviation of 1.1986, resilience 4.38 with a standard deviation of 1.2032, and self-compassion 4.73 with a standard deviation of 1.0967. Compassion has the highest score. According to neural network analysis, the importance of affecting the independent variables of work-family conflict and resilience on self-efficacy was 31% and 69%, respectively.

Conflict between work and family and resiliency have a positive impact. Increased self-compassion can be a good facilitator of enduring daily stresses, conflicts and pressures, and can be a positive and effective factor in increasing efficiency and productivity.
