What Nurses' Work-Life Balance in a Clinical Environment Would Be.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesNurses' workplaces are critical to both the levels and types of care nurses can deliver as well as to employee retention. The quality of the workplace environment is a significant predictor of employment outcomes, such as improved care and a decrease in nurses' desire to leave their work. Moreover, a favourable work environment can significantly improve organisational performance. A healthy nursing workplace is a safe, empowering, and fulfilling place of employment in which all healthcare personnel work tirelessly for patients' optimal health and wellness. The aim of this study is to identify the association between workplace environment and work engagement among nurses in clinical settings.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional correlational design was used. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 349 nurses from various hospitals in the central northern region of Saudi Arabia. A four-part electronic questionnaire eliciting information on participants' sociodemographic characteristics, job characteristics, work-related quality of life (WRQoL), and work engagement was collected. All ethical guidelines for scientific research on human beings were strictly followed.
resultsThe participants had average levels of WRQoL. However, they had generally moderate to high levels of work engagement, which reflects their moderate to low intention to leave work. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant positive link between the WRQoL and work engagement of the participants.
conclusionsWhen the nurses' WRQoL improved, their work engagement increased significantly. Improving WRQoL will almost definitely enhance nurses' work engagement, which will reduce nurses' intentions to leave their employment. It is advised that nurses enhance their WRQoL in order to increase their engagement in the workplace, have fewer thoughts about leaving, and make fewer plans to leave.
