Association Between Psychological Empowerment and Intent to Stay Among Military Hospital Nurses: The Mediating Effects of the Practice Environment and Burnout.
Observational study in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. 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
aimsTo explore the impact of psychological empowerment on nurses' intent to stay in military hospitals as well as the mediating effects of the practice environment and burnout in this context.
designThis study employed a cross-sectional survey approach and followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for reporting.
methodsA total of 1225 nurses from nine military hospitals were recruited via convenience sampling. Questionnaires were distributed and collected via the Questionnaire Star platform. The study variables, including psychological empowerment, the practice environment, burnout and intent to stay, were assessed via self-report questionnaires. SPSS 23.0 software was used to conduct descriptive and correlation analyses. Additionally, PROCESS Model 6 was employed to examine the mediating effects.
resultsPsychological empowerment is positively associated with nurses' intent to stay. Mediation analysis revealed that the practice environment, burnout and the chain mediating effect of the practice environment and burnout accounted for 54.5%, 2.8% and 1.5% of the total effect respectively.
conclusionPsychological empowerment affects nurses' intent to stay not only directly but also indirectly via the practice environment and burnout. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Nursing managers may consider utilising psychological empowerment as a management strategy to enhance nurses' perceived practice environment, reduce burnout and ultimately increase nurses' intent to stay. This approach has the potential to lower turnover rates among nurses. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Questionnaires completed by nurses were used to explore the relationships among psychological empowerment, the practice environment, burnout and intent to stay in this context.
