Abstract: (78 Views)
Background: The problem of mental health in children and adolescents is one of the concerns of modern societies and is of interest to many researchers. Many different factors play a role in its formation and manifestation, one of them is the occupational issues of the parents. Job burnout and job insecurity are two examples of employment issues that have psychological and physical consequences for difficult jobs, including nursing, which can negatively affect aspects of their lives, including their children’s mental health. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the role of nurses' job burnout and job insecurity in predicting the emotional-behavioral problems of their children.
Methods: The present study was descriptive and correlational. A total of 200 nurses working in hospitals of Sari in 2022 and 2023 with 4 to 12-year-old children were studied using convenience sampling method. The data collection tools were Maslach's job burnout questionnaire (1981), Nisi et al.'s job security questionnaire (1379), and Goodman's strengths and difficulties questionnaire (1997). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis using the SPSS-22 software.
Results: Pearson correlation results showed that nurses’ job burnout (r=0.354) and job insecurity (r=0.412) were positively related to their children's emotional and behavioral problems (p<0.05). Based on the results of stepwise multivariate regression analysis, lack of personal accomplishment =β) 0.37) and emotional exhaustion =β) 0.31) as the components of job burnout; and lack of job satisfaction=β) 0.28) and not having a suitable job =β) 0.21) as the components of job insecurity were instrumental in predicting emotional and behavioral problems in nurses' children.
Conclusion: According to the results, ensuring job security and adjusting job burden for nurses can be an effective measure to reduce work-related problems for nurses and improve the mental health of their children. It is also proposed to improve the mental health of nurses and their families through the provision of psychological services and life skills training
