Nurses' self-care levels and its related factors: a cross-sectional study.
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 9 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
backgroundNurses' self-care has been reported to enhance nurses' mental health and the quality of care they provide to patients. However, there is a scarcity of studies exploring the factors that influence nurses' self-care. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the current status of nurses' self-care ability and its influencing factors, thereby providing a reference for formulating effective strategies to improve nurses' self-care.
methodsThis study is a cross-sectional study employing convenience sampling. A general information questionnaire, nurses' self-care scale, and the flourishing scale were used to explore nurses' self-care ability and the influencing factors among 1,046 nurses from eight tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China.
resultsThe total score of nurses' self-care was (144.63 ± 22.53).The scores for the dimensions of self-care awareness, self-care knowledge, healthy lifestyle, occupational self-acceptance, and inner self-fulfillment were (23.43 ± 4.68), (19.40 ± 4.15), (22.08 ± 4.99), (43.82 ± 5.61), and (35.91 ± 6.00), respectively. The total score of nurses' flourishing was (45.45 ± 8.83). The self-care scores of nurses with different ages, professional titles, positions, years of working experience, night shift frequency, marital status, number of children, sleep quality, frequency of physical exercise, experience of workplace violence, experience of psychological help-seeking, mental health promotion training experience, relationship with family members, relationship with coworkers, experience of career change, and the flourishing grading level were statistically significantly different(P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the influencing factors of nurses' self-care competence were sleep quality, relationships with colleagues, and the flourishing grading level(P<0.05).
conclusionIt is essential to improve nurses' self-care ability. Sleep quality, relationship with coworkers, and the flourishing grading level are the factors that influence nurses' self-care ability. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
