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

aimTo explore and validate an end of shift survey with a low response burden, practical application and generated evidence of related associations between workload, quality of work and patient care, missed care and job satisfaction.

designA retrospective cross-sectional survey of the experiences of nursing staff.

methodsData were collected from 265 nurses who responded to a questionnaire at the end of their shift in 2022. Exploratory factor analysis was undertaken using IBM SPSS v.27 and confirmatory factor analysis was undertaken using IBM AMOS v27. Hypotheses testing was undertaken using IBM SPSS v.27 using multiple regression analyses.

resultsAll of the hypotheses were supported. There was a negative association between workload and quality of work and job satisfaction. Quality of work was negatively associated with workload and missed care and positively associated with job satisfaction. The association between missed care and job satisfaction was negative.

conclusionThe EOSS is a valid and reliable tool with a low response burden. The tool supports previous research which demonstrated there is a negative relationship between level of workload and shift type with satisfaction, quality of work and potentially nurse retention. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: In the context of a global nursing shortage nursing leaders must ensure that care we provide is of the highest quality. We must take every action to address high workload to reduce the risk that fundamental care is not sacrificed, job satisfaction is improved and nurses remain in the profession. The EOSS gives nurse leaders a reliable, practical, consistent, applied tool that will better enable associations to be observed between resource configuration, workload and critical impacts on nursing and patient care. REPORTING

methodWe have adhered to the relevant EQUATOR guidelines using the STROBE reporting method. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution.
