Abstract Background Suicidal ideation has been explored in different populations. However, few studies were conducted among medical staff. Besides, the effect of work-family conflict on suicidal ideation was less reported in previous studies. In the current study, we aim to clarify the relations among work-family conflict, social support, depression, and suicidal ideation for Chinese medical staffs.Methods We collected 3,426 valid questionnaires based on a cross-sectional design. Suicidal ideation, work-family conflict, social support, depression, social-demographic characteristics, and work-related variables were evaluated. Conditional process analysis was used to analyze the association among these variables.Results We found that factors associated with lifetime suicidal ideation were male (OR=0.54), doctor (OR=4.32), physical disease (OR=1.58), work-family conflict (OR=1.03), and depression (OR=1.09). Factors associated with one-year suicidal ideation were male (OR=0.46), doctor (OR=4.21), master (OR=1.79), physical disease (OR=1.51), work-family conflict (OR=1.02), and depression (OR=1.10). Depression can mediate the association between work-family conflict and suicidal ideation, but mediate effect of social support was not supported in the current study.Conclusion We should pay more attention to work-family conflict problems, and depression is an important factor associated with suicidal ideation among Chinese medical staff. Both of them should be scanned for identification and treatment of suicide.

Work Family

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of organisational career growth (OCG) in the process linking organisational work–family support and work–family conflict. Design/methodology/approach Since previous contributions reported theoretical and empirical evidence of possible gender differences in this process, a moderated mediation model was examined including gender as moderating variable of both direct and indirect effects. Conditional process analysis was used to test the hypotheses on a sample of 507 Italian employees who were also parents. Findings Results showed a significant mediation effect of OCG in the relationship between organisational work–family support and work–family conflict. Furthermore, evidence of a moderated effect of gender was found in the way that the negative direct effect of organisational work–family support on work–family conflict was stronger among women, whereas the direct effect of OCG on work–family conflict was significant only for men. Originality/value This is the first study addressing the possible negative effect of OCG on a specific target of employees.

The Impact

The study explored the role of work/family conflict and workplace social support in predicting home health workers’ mental distress using a sample of home health workers in Central Texas ( n = 150). The result of multivariate analysis showed that work/family conflict increased mental distress, while client support and organizational support decreased mental distress. In addition to the direct effects, client support was found to buffer the negative impact of work/family conflict. Findings call attention to the ways to reduce work/family conflict and increase workplace social support in efforts to promote home health workers’ mental well-being.
