Results

Many of the findings indicate that the collapse of balancing of work and family life has a negative impact on mental and physical health, career orientation, and job continuity. However, there were limited data on the factors and strategies that promote such a balance, and research gaps were identified. Further research is needed to identify actionable solutions.

Baseline Characteristics

All articles in the review were published between 2009 and 2023. The locations of the research were Japan (n = 10), Canada (n = 2), Switzerland (n = 2), Sweden (n = 1), and the United States (n = 1). The types of study design were quantitative (n = 13) and qualitative (n = 3).

Participant flow

An initial search of the literature using the defined search strategies resulted in 209 articles. After removing duplicates (n = 17), the remaining articles were screened for relevance and eligibility based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. This resulted in 14 full-text articles being retained for inclusion in the review. A review of the reference lists from these articles revealed an additional two articles relevant to the review. Thus, the final scoping review consisted of 16 articles.

Adverse events

As this study was a literature review without intervention, no adverse events occurred.

Outcome measures

We conducted a qualitative integration of the extracted descriptions about the balancing of work and family life among home health-care nurses. The key findings regarding the balancing of work and family life among home health-care nurses were categorized according to similarity. In addition, to gain a better understanding of the key findings from each country, the studies from Japan and other countries are shown separately.
