1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNurses show a high prevalence of exhaustion and increased leaving intentions. With this study, we integrate established research about turnover intention with recent burnout literature and present a theoretical model that combines both. The aim of this study was to examine job demands (time pressure, social conflicts) and resources (job control, supervisor support, task identity, person-organisation fit) as drivers and health and age as moderators for the relationships between exhaustion and nurses' organisational and professional leaving intentions.

methodsWe analysed data from a standardised paper-pencil questionnaire survey with a prospective, two-wave (12 months apart) study design. In total, 584 nurses participated at Time 1 (t1). The final sample at Time 2 (t2) was n = 222 nurses (38%; age: M = 41.1 years, SD = 11.0; 88% females).

resultsWe identified time pressure as job demand and job control, task identity, and person-organisation fit as resources that drive the relationships of exhaustion (mean between both times of measures) and organisational and professional leaving intentions. The relationships to organisational leaving intentions decreased with nurses' age and the relationships to professional leaving intentions increased for nurses who had poorer self-rated health. We found indirect effects of exhaustion for relationships between job demands and nurses' leaving intentions. Relationships to exhaustion remained significant after adjusting for depressive mood.

conclusionInsights from this study can be used both by employers and employees. Redesigning work might be a promising approach to improve nurses' well-being and retention in this profession. Geriatric care facilities should include the concept of person-organisation fit into their personnel selection process.
