The relationship between professional quality of life and sleep quality among nurses working in intensive care units: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundIntensive care unit (ICU) nurses work under heavy workloads, which can lead to serious consequences for nurses' outcomes and patient safety. This study aimed to examine the relationship between professional quality of life (Pro QOL), and sleep quality among ICU nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak.
methodsA cross-sectional and multicentre study was conducted on 253 nurses in 20 COVID-19 ICUs in four major teaching hospitals from July 2021 to June 2022. Data were collected via a demographic information form, the Professional Quality of Life Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
resultsNurses in COVID-19 ICUs experienced moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and poor sleep quality. The mean scores of the Pro QOL dimensions were 33.49 ± 6.77, 32.28 ± 8.83, and 29.58 ± 11.67 for compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, respectively. The results revealed that 220 (87%) of the nurses experienced poor sleep quality. A significant relationship was shown between the Pro QOL dimensions and the mean total score of sleep quality, which can predict 0.45% of the variance (F = 7.11, p < 0.001, adjusted R
conclusionOur results confirmed the link between the Pro QOL and sleep quality among ICU nurses. It is suggested that nurse managers implement practical interventions to improve the QWL of nurses in the ICU
