Abstract

Currently, the issue of staff well-being is addressed from many perspectives of the labor spectrum, but in the background of these approaches the intention to improve the rest conditions of health workers and thus influence their family relationships can be found. The ways in which health professionals perceive and take advantage of these rest periods and how they influence their family dynamics are an important part of the challenges of managing health personnel in institutions. Despite the current working conditions and demands, rest and family relationships stand as protective psychosocial factors for the well-being of the nursing professional. Regarding family relationships, the work-family conflict is the main problem on which the efforts of the institutions should be focused to improve the status of their professionals
