<Abstract>BACKGROUND: Work-family conflict has many negative outcomes for organization and career and family life of each person. The aim of present study was to determine the relationship between work-family conflict and the level of self-efficacy in female nurses. METHODS: In this cross-sectional descriptive research, the relationship between work-family conflict and the level of self-efficacy in female nurses of Alzahra Hospital was assessed. Questionnaire, demographic data form, work-family conflict scale and self-efficacy scale were the data collection tools. Content analysis and Cronbach alpha were used for evaluating the validity and reliability of results. The study sample included 160 nurses (80 permanent nurses and 80 contract-based nurses) selected through simple random sampling from nurses working in different wards of Alzahra Hospital. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. RESULTS: There was significant difference in work-family conflict between the two groups of permanent and contract-based nurses (p=0.02). Also, a significant difference in the level of self-efficacy was observed between the two groups of nurses (p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS: The level of self-efficacy and work-family conflict in contract-based nurses was not acceptable. Therefore, it is suggested to arrange courses to train effective skills in the field of management of work-family conflicts in order to increase the level of self-efficacy for contract-based nurses. KEY WORDS: Conflict (Psychology), self-efficacy, work, family, female, nurses.</Abstract>
