Job satisfaction among nurses in Eastern Mediterranean Region hospitals: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundJob satisfaction is the extent to which an employee feels positively or negatively toward their job. Hospitals with high job satisfaction among nurses provide higher-quality nursing care, resulting in higher patient satisfaction.
aimsThis study was conducted to determine job satisfaction among nurses in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) hospitals.
methodsThis research was a meta-analysis of research on job satisfaction among nurses in EMR hospitals. All studies published in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) and Google Scholar search engine were searched, collected, and assessed for quality. The STROBE checklist was used to determine the quality of the studies. Finally, 13 articles were analyzed using the CMA software.
resultsBased on the random effects model, the overall job satisfaction among nurses in EMR hospitals was 17.9% (95% CI (11.9-26.0)). The highest job satisfaction was in hospitals in Palestine. Job satisfaction among nurses was higher in high-income countries than in others. The level of job satisfaction was also higher in private hospitals. Moreover, the results showed that average age and sample size caused heterogeneity between the reviewed studies (p < 0.05).
conclusionAccording to the results of this study, about 18% of nurses in EMR hospitals felt satisfied with their job. Therefore, healthcare managers and policymakers in the EMR region must identify and eliminate the causes of dissatisfaction.
