Abstract

The balance between child‐rearing and work may be one of the most challenging issues facing female clinical nurses, particularly those who work in three shifts. This study aimed to identify attitudes toward child‐rearing in this particular cohort, female clinical nurses working three shifts. Q methodology, a research method concerned with individuals' subjective points of view, was used. Thirty‐five selected Q statements from 51 participants were divided into a normal distribution using a nine‐point bipolar scale, and the collected data were analyzed using the QUANL program. Three discrete factors emerged: Factor I: child‐rearing is natural work (child‐rearing and work are separate); Factor II: child‐rearing is hard work (child‐rearing and work are in conflict); and Factor III: child‐rearing requires help from someone (child‐rearing and work are balanced). The subjective viewpoints of the three identified factors can be applied to develop diverse strategies to support child‐rearing in female clinical nurses.
