Background:Although work-family conflict and coping styles have been identified as factors influencing nurses' occupational fatigue, the interactive mechanism between these variables remains unclear among endoscopy nurses. This study, guided by the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model, aims to investigate the interactive effects of work-family conflict and coping styles on occupational fatigue among endoscopy nurses.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1 to July 31, 2024, involving 320 endoscopy nurses from 23 medical institutions across China. Standardized scales, including the Work-Family Conflict (WFC) scale, the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and the Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI), were used to measure work-family conflict, coping styles, and occupational fatigue, respectively. Logistic regression models were applied to analyze the associations between variables, and additive interaction indices (RERI, API, SI) were used to test interaction effects.Results High-intensity work-family conflict (OR = 1.214, 95% CI: 1.143-1.289) and negative coping (OR = 1.209, 95% CI: 1.137-1.285) significantly
