From compassion to burnout: emotional labor in oncology nursing - a qualitative 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 9 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
introductionCancer incidents are increasingly rising. The quality of care received by cancer patients and the guarantee of their satisfaction are no longer limited to clinical services. Oncology nurses can offer an important role in enhancing the level of patient satisfaction through emotional labor in this regard.
objectiveIt aims to explore oncology nurses' perceptions regarding the concept of emotional labor and the individual and organizational consequences of emotional labor. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present qualitative research was carried out based on a phenomenological approach. We sampled 18 oncology nurses working at Mashhad hospitals in the year 2024 through semi-structured interviews. Our interview questions were composed of seven open, semi-structured, and in-depth questions. Data analysis was done through conventional content analysis using MAXQDA software.
resultsThe results of this study revealed three main concepts of emotional labor based on the definitions provided by oncology nurses: individual effects, organizational outcomes, and relationships with patients.
conclusionEmotional labor is pivotal to enforcing good quality in healthcare services, patient satisfaction and nursing relations between the patients and their families. It plays a very important role in ensuring better treatment processes.
