Collaborative Practices in Unnamed Housework and Childcare Among Dual-Earner Families: A Qualitative Descriptive Study on Family-to-Work Enrichment

Invisible domestic labor significantly influences both family dynamics and occupational well-being. Public health nurses (PHNs) and family nursing practitioners can play pivotal roles in supporting couples in recognizing, redistributing, and jointly managing these tasks. Interventions such as task visualization tools and structured dialogue may enhance intra-family communication, reduce mental load, and promote mutually reinforcing work-family integration.

Abstract

Invisible domestic labor significantly influences both family dynamics and occupational well-being. Public health nurses (PHNs) and family nursing practitioners can play pivotal roles in supporting couples in recognizing, redistributing, and jointly managing these tasks. Interventions such as task visualization tools and structured dialogue may enhance intra-family communication, reduce mental load, and promote mutually reinforcing work-family integration.
