Are Personal Smartphones Hurting Work-Life Balance for Nurse Managers?

Completed

Conditions studied: Burnout

In brief

For leadership positions with only a handful of staff under their direct chain of command, this may not be all-consuming and detrimental to work-life balance. But for NMs with upwards of 100 direct reports, this can make for a never-ending stream of contact points. This study will implement several communication and behavioral strategies to determine how using provided smartphone tools impact work-life balance and professional burnout.
