Interventions Intended to Improve the Well-Being at Work of Nurses Working in Care Settings for Older People-A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of older people nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionNurses' well-being at work (WAW) is important for overall health care outcomes. Nurses often navigate complex roles, contending with time constraints, ethical challenges and societal undervaluation, underscoring the necessity of addressing their WAW.
methodsThe aim of this systematic review was to analyse the interventions that potentially improve nurses' WAW in care settings for older people. The ultimate goal is to provide an understanding of this field and advance the development of WAW interventions. We performed a systematic review which was registered in PROSPERO and conducted according to PRISMA guideline. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across five scientific databases and one platform in February 2023.
resultsOut of 5975 records, we included 21 full-text articles in the review. Interventions were typically complex and focused on (a) nurses' health, (b) nursing care, (c) care facilities and (d) management. Interventions resulted in a range of outcomes on the (a) physical, (b) psychosocial and (c) environmental dimensions of WAW, with most interventions leading to positive outcomes, albeit with instances of negative and neutral results.
conclusionsInterventions focusing on nurses' health or care facilities can be promising to improve WAW of nurses working in care settings for older people. Interventions aimed at improving the WAW have focused on various aspects. Despite the mainly positive outcomes, some interventions can also compromise nurses' WAW. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Strategies and interventions aimed at improving nurses' WAW are needed in practice as nurses' WAW is crucial in recruiting to and retaining nurses in care settings for older people. Promoting WAW also contributes to the quality of care for older people and the provision of ethically high-quality health services.
trial registrationThe review protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO (CRD42023399478).
