目的本研究旨在调查日本某大学医院护理人员的工作与生活平衡意识。设计调查。方法对某大学附属医院的1236名护理人员进行问卷调查，收到回复1081人（87.5%）。这些问题涉及以下方面：(1)被调查者的人口特征；(2)生活背景；(3)对工作环境的期望；(4)工作动机和健康状况。数据通过简单的交叉表格进行分析。结果：(1)日本护士对生活质量的概念和意义尚未建立；(2)发现护士需要的三个因素是工作环境，第一是生活质量福利，第二是灵活的工作方式，第三是终身学习；(3)生活质量好的护士工作满意度和工作动机也较高。结论护士对WLB的概念和意义尚未建立。因此，有必要对护士进行自我护理的概念、意义以及如何实施自我护理进行启蒙。近一半的护士在现实中把工作放在第一位，尽管她们有各种各样的私人生活和家庭事务需求，以及工作需求。WLB不能只靠个人态度来实现；因此，组织的努力是必要的。在工作满意度和工作动机的相关关系中，工作满意度高的护士和工作动机高的护士表现出更高的工作幸福感。满意度和动机之间存在显著的相关性。护士有必要了解和掌握有关工作政策的信息，以改善工作条件，获得他们需要的更好的工作条件。
AIM The aim of this study was to examine the awareness of work-life balance (WLB) among the nursing personnel at a university hospital in Japan. DESIGN Survey. METHODS A questionnaire was sent to 1236 nursing personnel working at a university hospital and 1081 (87·5%) responses received. The questions concerned the following: (1) respondent demographical characteristics, (2) living background, (3) wishes for working environments and (4) motivation to work and health condition. The data were analysed by simple and cross-tabulations. RESULTS The results can be summarised as follows: (1) the concept and significance of WLB has not yet been established among nurses in Japan, (2) three factors were found, which nurses need as working environment, 1st quality-of-life benefits, 2nd flexible working style, 3rd lifelong learning and (3) nurses who reported good WLB also reported higher job satisfaction and job motivation. CONCLUSION The concept and significance of WLB has not yet been established among nurses. Thus, it is needed to enlighten nurses on the concept and significance of WLB as well as how they should practise WLB. Approximately half of the nurses gave their jobs first priority in reality, although they had various needs for their private lives and household affairs, as well as jobs. WLB cannot be achieved only by individual attitudes; thus, organisational efforts are necessary. In the correlation between WLB and 'job satisfaction' and 'job motivation,' nurses who were satisfied with their job and those who were highly motivated showed higher WLB. There was a significant correlation between satisfaction and motivation. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE It is necessary that nurses understand and have any information about working policy to improve working conditions to get better conditions which they need.
