Perceptions within this theory, with role overwork and spillover, suggest that conquering multiple roles may add to what researchers describe as role stress and inter role conflict. Inter role conflict, which happens when work roles spillover to family roles and vice versa, has been the focus of significant research during the last. Figure 1 presents a conceptual model incorporating work and parental overload, inter role conflict and well-being. This model suggests that the effects of role stressors, identified within this paper as work and parental overload, may be curbed by spousal. This model further suggests that the effects of the inter role conflict and the stress apparent by the individual, will be moderated by various coping behaviors developed by that individual, effecting well-being, identified within this paper as job, family, or life satisfaction

Policy Priority: Safe Staffing for Nurses Stephanie Minervini Chamberlain College of Nursing NR506: Health Care Policy July 2013 Introduction Inadequate staffing is becoming an increasing concern for not only nurses but the public as well. Research has found a strong connection between low nurse staffing and higher rates of patient complications. A study from the New England Journal of medicine determined that patient mortality was significantly related to nurse staffing levels. Staffing the right number of nurses with the right knowledge and skill base to meet the needs of patients is essential to achieving optimal nursing outcomes. Sources that can help us plan staffing models or determine appropriate nurse-to-patient ratios include standards defined by professional nursing organizations and regulatory agencies, and benchmarks from the American Nurses Association’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators.
