Job satisfaction of registered nurses in a private critical care unit in the Eastern Cape: A pilot study.
Article in Health SA = SA Gesondheid, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundJob satisfaction is influenced by factors that are interpersonal (between nurse and colleagues), intrapersonal (within the nurse) and extra-personal (external to the nurse).
aimThe primary objective of this study was to explore and describe factors influencing the job satisfaction of registered nurses in a particular private critical care unit. The second objective was to make recommendations to enhance the job satisfaction of registered nurses in this private critical care unit.
settingThe population consisted of registered nurses in a private critical care unit in the Eastern Cape.
methodsThis study utilised a quantitative descriptive design. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed amongst registered nurses in the critical care unit. Data were analysed and illustrated through tables.
resultsAltogether, 39 registered nurses took part in the study. The majority of the participants (82%;
conclusionThe majority of the registered nurses in this private critical care unit were extremely satisfied with their job. However, there were areas where this could be improved. The high levels of satisfaction at this single critical care unit lead to the question whether this situation is common throughout the Eastern Cape, which opens the path for further research in this regard.
