Objective To explore the work-family enrichment of pediatric nurses who have had children, in order to provide references for promoting work-family balance, strengthening humanistic nursing practice, and stabilizing the pediatric nursing team. Methods Using the purposive sampling method combined with the variable maximum differentiation sampling strategy, 14 pediatric nurses who have had children were selected. Phenomenological research was conducted for semi-structured interviews, and the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview data. Results Two themes and eight sub-themes were extracted：work-to-family enrichment (providing professional care for family members, obtaining convenient medical resources, stable economic sources, and harmonious family relationships), and family-to-work enrichment (enhancing professional identity, cultivating empathy skills, actively implementing humanistic care, and improving work engagement). Conclusion There is significant bidirectional enrichment between work and family for pediatric nurses with children. Nursing managers should establish a mechanism for mutual transformation of professional skills and parenting skills to further enhance work-family enrichment, provide sufficient organizational support to help nurses establish a dynamic work-family balance, strengthen nurses′ empathy transfer ability through role-playing, so as to carry out humanistic nursing practice better.
