The relationship between positive psychological capital and work engagement in clinical nurses: mediation effect of job crafting.
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 13 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' work engagement is critical for improving quality care, facilitating positive patient outcomes, and solving considering the nursing shortage. This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of job crafting on the relationship between positive psychological capital and work engagement in registered nurses.
methodsA total of 132 hospital nurses with clinical experience of more than one year, excluding nurse administrators, participated. The participants were recruited from three hospitals in South Korea from August to September 2021. The SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS macro were used for data analysis.
resultsPositive psychological capital had a significant association with job crafting (β = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.71 to 0.95), and job crafting had a positive association with work engagement (β = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.29 to 0.56). In the mediating effect analysis, the mediating role of job crafting on the relationships between positive psychological capital and work engagement was statistically significant (β = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.24 to 0.48).
conclusionsBased on our findings that positive psychological capital and job crafting could improve the work engagement of registered nurses, strengths coaching-based programs for increasing positive psychological capital and job crafting exercises for helping nurses make their job more engaging need to be developed.
