Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Thriving in Nursing Questionnaire (THINQ).
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. 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
aimTo develop and evaluate a questionnaire for measuring factors that contribute to thriving at work among nurses.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsAn online questionnaire was administered in March 2024 to nurses in a community teaching hospital in Michigan, US. Questionnaire content was based on a literature search and was pilot tested among nursing professionals within the hospital system. Questionnaire factor structure was examined with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with split-half sample validation.
resultsBased on exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a three-factor solution presented the best model, with factors comprised of 15 items measuring individual resources (3 items), work resources (6 items) and interpersonal aspects of the nursing work environment (6 items). Reliability estimates for all three factors exceeded 0.80, indicating good internal homogeneity. The questionnaire also demonstrated acceptable split-half validity and reliability.
conclusionThe questionnaire presented here provides a potentially useful tool for measuring and evaluating thriving at work among nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: A better understanding of factors that enhance nurse thriving would lay the foundation for targeted interventions aimed at improving the nursing work environment and nurse well-being. Enhancing nurse thriving could have a potentially positive impact on patient care. IMPACT: This study addressed the need to understand factors that contribute to thriving in nursing work. The questionnaire that was developed revealed a three-factor solution measuring individual nurse resources, work environment resources and work interpersonal resources. By measuring thriving among nurses, hospitals and other healthcare organisations are taking an important first step in identifying interventions to enhance the nursing work environment, nurse well-being and potentially the quality of patient care.
