Job satisfaction of midwives working in a labor ward: A repeat measure mixed-methods study.
Article in European journal of midwifery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionJob satisfaction of midwives is important to prevent skill shortage. Those working in midwife-led models of care work more independently and have more responsibility. No previous study investigated if a self-initiated and self-responsible project could enhance job satisfaction of midwives working in a medicalled maternity unit. The aim of this study was therefore to assess job satisfaction before and after the implementation of such a project.
methodsThis is longitudinal observational study at three time points using quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of 43 midwives working in a Swiss labor ward participated in the online surveys and in the focus group discussions. The surveys comprised questions from validated instruments to assess job satisfaction. Descriptive and multivariable time series analysis were used for quantitative and content analysis for qualitative data.
resultsAdjusted predicted scores decreased between t
conclusionsThe implementation of new projects might enhance work-related stress and consequently have negative impacts on job satisfaction in an early phase. Heads of institutions and policy makers should recognize the needs of support and additional resources for staff when implementing new projects.
