The predictive role of resilience and the ethical climate of hospital in the fatigue of surgical technologists working in operating rooms.
Article in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundFatigue in surgical technologists is of paramount importance and is known as a priority because it can be regarded as a threat to the nurse's health and patient's safety. The fatigue level of healthcare workers can be affected by some factors, while the role of part of these factors is less known. This study aimed to determine the predictive role of resilience and the hospital ethical climate in the fatigue of surgical technologists working in operating rooms (ORs).
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted on 217 surgical technologists working in ORs of hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using Connor-Davidson's Resilience scale, Olson's Hospital Ethical Climate Survey, and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, and then analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
results87.1% and 12.9% of surgical technologists reported low and high fatigue, respectively. All fatigue subscales had significant and negative relationships with resilience (p < 0.05). Moreover, the relationship between fatigue and ethical climate was significant (p = 0.02). The multiple linear regression model showed the predictive role of resilience in fatigue (β=-0.29, P < 0.001). According to the model, 10% of the change of fatigue was related to resilience and ethical climate.
conclusionThe present study demonstrated the relationship between resilience and ethical climate with fatigue. Moreover, resilience was a predictor of the surgical technologists' fatigue, so that their fatigue decreased with increasing resilience. However, future studies are recommended to determine other factors influencing fatigue in surgical technologists.
