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

backgroundThe level of health professional work engagement affects retention, burnout, job satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and outcomes; however, there is a paucity of evidence that benefit health professional work engagement. Therefore, this study aimed to assess work engagement and associated factors among health professionals at public health facilities in the Bench-Sheko zone in southwest Ethiopia.

methodsFacility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 605 health professionals from 29 March to 29 April 2021. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Linear regression was fitted and those variables with p-value < 0.2 in simple linear regression were entered into multiple linear regression analysis. Unstandardized β-coefficient with 95% CI and p-value < 0.05 were used as the cut of points to determine the factors associated with work engagement.

resultsMean score percentage of work engagement was 71.8%. Health center staff (β = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.40), married professionals (β = 0.10; 95% CI: 0.005, 0.17), co-worker support (β = 0.06; 95% CI: 0.004, 0.11), role clarity (β = 0.14; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.21), reward (β = 0.10; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.15), resilience (β = 0.14 95%; CI: 0.07, 0.21), self-efficacy (β = 0.24; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.31) and optimism (β = 0.20; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.26) were positively associated with work engagement. On the contrary, cognitive demand (β= -0.06; 95% CI: -0.11, -0.01) was negatively associated with work engagement.

conclusionIn this study, health professionals had a moderate level of work engagement. Health facilities shall improve their culture of co-worker support, role clarity, reward, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism to enhance work engagement. Future researchers shall be done further studies to evaluate the relationship between cognitive demand and work engagement among health professionals.
