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

objectiveTo investigate the current state of compassion fatigue among operating room nurses, analyze the factors influencing compassion fatigue (particularly psychological resilience), and provide a basis for developing a compassion fatigue intervention program for operating room nursing managers.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2022. A total of 258 operating room nurses were surveyed using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). The ProQOL demonstrated internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach's α values ranging from 0.75 to 0.88 across its three subscales. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the RSA was 0.91.

resultsScores on various dimensions of compassion fatigue among operating room nurses were as follows: the total score was 84.07 (standard deviation [SD] = 7.74), with a mean score of 28.02. 92 nurses (35.5%) had no compassion fatigue or only mild compassion fatigue, whereas 166 nurses (64.3%) experienced moderate or greater compassion fatigue. The total score for psychological resilience was 112.9 (SD = 6.47), with a mean score of 18.82. Factors influencing compassion fatigue included the relationship between labor and personnel, the number of night shifts per week, and mental resilience. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

conclusionCompassion fatigue among nurses in the operating room is severe and is mainly influenced by factors such as night shift work, the relationship between labor and personnel, and mental resilience. Appropriate interventions are recommended to address these factors and reduce nurses' compassion fatigue. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
