The Effects of the Physical and Professional Workplace Environments on the Well-Being of Nursing Staff.
Article in The American journal of nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundNursing services are often compromised by excessive stress, burnout, and low job satisfaction. These experiences can cause nurses to leave jobs or the profession entirely, exacerbating staffing deficiencies that can have deleterious consequences for patient care. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine which aspects of the physical and social hospital environments might be related to nurses' well-being. Identifying factors and intervening in areas that could reduce staff stress and burnout or improve job satisfaction could help combat nursing staff turnover and improve patient outcomes.
methodsA total of 2,115 nurses at one tertiary health care campus were anonymously surveyed using Qualtrics. Of these, 393 returned their surveys and provided informed consent. Outcome measures included overall psychological stress, burnout, job satisfaction, and job stress. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics software.
resultsNurses' appreciation of the physical workplace environment was strongly associated with a positive perception of outcome measures, notably job satisfaction. There was a strong correlation between all outcome measures and nurses' perception of control over their practice, independent of their perception of their physical environment.
conclusionThis study supports the idea that improvements in nurses' physical working environment can improve nursing staff well-being and job satisfaction. Notably, interventions that are designed to make it easier for nurses to perform their duties may have a positive impact on their well-being. In workplace environments, these include improving orientation, reducing excessive noise, and facilitating increased control over nursing practice by and for nursing staff.
