Shift Work, Psychological Health Disorders, and Job Security Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06946888 (Effects of Acupressure on Nurses' Psychological Distress, Anxiety, Depression, Job Stress, Occupational Burnout, and Resilience), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesShift work is prevalent among nurses, often leading to adverse psychological effects, such as fatigue, depression, anxiety, and stress. Understanding how shift work contributes to psychological health disorders can help healthcare organizations identify critical areas where support should be offered. This study aimed to determine the relationships between shift work, psychological health disorders, and job security among nurses in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 163 nurses, recruited via convenience sampling. The participants completed an online questionnaire that assessed demographic variables, psychological disorders, fatigue, and job security. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as bivariate analyses to explore relationships between variables.
resultsMost participants (73%) worked 12 h shifts, and 67.5% reported fair sleep quality. We found significant correlations among shift work, fatigue, and common psychological disorders. Significant differences were also observed for fatigue (
conclusionsThese findings underscore the psychological challenges faced by nurses related to shift work, emphasizing the importance of addressing fatigue and mental health. Healthcare organizations should implement strategies to enhance job security and support nurses' well-being to ultimately improve both nurse satisfaction and patient care outcomes. Further research is warranted to explore effective interventions and the long-term effects of shiftwork on nursing professionals.
