It is important to assign work fairly in order to secure human resources and manage a sustainable nursing organization. Dr. Kida and colleagues examined differences in work status and social support and emotional stress states (EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION) among hospital nurses by child-rearing attributes. The new findings showed that nurses without children experienced higher workloads, lower social support, and higher burnout than nurses with children (regardless of the age of the children). This study confirmed the uneven distribution of work environment by work-life balance measures.
