Professionnelles de la Santé en Précarité D'Emploi: le Défi de la Conciliation Travail-Famille

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health

Résumé

Cette étude met en lumière les difficultés de conciliation travail-famille inhérentes à l'occupation d'un emploi précaire chez les infirmières à temps partiel occasionnel. Huit groupes de discussion ont été effectués auprès de 48 infirmières dispersées dans 4 régions du Québec. L'analyse des témoignages recueillis révèle que les infirmières «sur appel» sont particulièrement touchées par la surcharge de travail et éprouvent de grandes difficultés à concilier leurs obligations professionnelles et familiales. Diverses solutions sont proposées par les participantes telles que la création de garderies adaptées aux infirmières sur appel et la planification des heures de travail par l'établissement d'une grille-horaire des infirmières à temps partiel occasionnel.

Abstract

Looking at the case of occasional part-time nurses, this study highlights the difficulties in balancing work and family that are inherent in nonstandard jobs. Eight focus groups were held, involving 48 nurses in 4 regions of Quebec. Analysis of the data collected reveals that nurses “on call” are particularly affected by overwork and experience great difficulty in balancing their work and family obligations. The participants proposed a variety of solutions, such as establishing day care centres adapted to the needs of nurses on call and instituting a timetable grid for occasional part-time nurses so that they can plan their work hours.
