Work stressors and intention to leave among nurses in isolation nursing units during COVID-19: 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 7 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
backgroundWork stressors are associated with physical and psychological health problems among workers and thus increase their intentions to leave work. Various factors, including fear of infection, workload, and inadequate support, caused nurses especially those on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic greater stress.
aimThis study aims to identify Jordanian nurses' perceptions of work stressors and their intention to leave, and to investigate the relationship between these variables among nurses working in isolation units during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. A convenience sample of 154 nurses who worked with COVID-19 patients participated in this study. Questionnaires were distributed online.
resultsA total of 154 nurses participated in the study, with an average age of 29.59 years. A majority of nurses (61.1%) were employed in COVID-19 isolation units for a duration of 6 to 8 months. Of the work-related stresses, the mean score was 3.17; 85.7% of respondents reported a positive level of stress. Intent to leave had a mean score of 4.03; 57.8% of respondents showed a slightly positive intention. Work stresses and intention to leave showed a modest, positive significant correlation (r = 0.52, p = 0.001).
conclusionsIn COVID-19 isolation units, Jordanian nurses' work stresses were positively correlated with their intention to leave. Lower-educated and single nurses were more stressed and likely to leave. Based on the findings, targeted stress-reduction programs are needed. Nursing retention and healthcare system sustainability amid public health emergencies depend on supportive, well-resourced workplaces.
