Data were collected using the Background Questionnaire, the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, and the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire. Work\u2014family conflict was rated on a scale of 9 to 45, with a 95% confidence level estimated for the target population.

A significant model explained 33.2% of the variance in work\u2014family conflict identified by nine variables: use of coping strategies, willingness to leave the job, workload on the ward, being a native, satisfaction with performance of managers, satisfaction with physical health, job title, employment status, and type of work shift (F\u2009=\u200911.035, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
