Abstract

The specific aims of the proposed study, which were derived from Roy's Adaptation model (Roy & Andrews, 1999) are to (1) determine the levels of the dimensions of work-family conflict, job satisfaction and psychological well-being experienced by African American nurses with families and (2) examine the relation of work-family conflict, and job satisfaction to psychological well-being among African American nurses with families. A sequential transformative design mixed methodological approach, which incorporated a descriptive correlational design and focus group methodology (Creswell, 2003; Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2003), was implemented to conduct this family-related research study. The total sample for the study was 79. A subset of 51 participants was used to analyze the data. These participants self-identified as being African American or Black nurses with families. Focus groups were conducted with 23 out of the 51 participants. Participants were surveyed using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS, Spector, 1997), a modified version of the Midlife Development Inventory (MIDI, MIDMAC, 2000), and a demographic data sheet (Gipson-Jones, 2002). Qualitative data were collected via tape-recorded focus groups and analyzed by content analysis.
