The impact of nursing work environment, emotional intelligence, and empathy fatigue on nurses' presenteeism: a structural equation model.
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 13 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the impact of the work environment, emotional intelligence, and empathy fatigue on nurse presenteeism and to examine the mediating roles of emotional intelligence and empathy fatigue.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional research design and conducted a questionnaire survey from April to July 2024 among 1,375 nurses (aged 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, and ≥ 45 years) from six tertiary hospitals in Henan Province. The questionnaire included demographic characteristics, the Nursing Practice Environment Scale, the Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Empathy Fatigue Scale, and the Stanford Presenteeism Scale. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 26.0. A structural equation model was constructed, and the Bootstrap method was employed to assess the mediating effects.
resultsThe average presenteeism score among nurses was 19.49 ± 5.910. A partial mediation effect exists among the four variables: work environment, emotional intelligence, empathy fatigue, and nurse presenteeism. Specifically, the nursing work environment not only directly negatively influences nurse presenteeism but also indirectly affects it through the mediating roles of emotional intelligence and empathy fatigue. Furthermore, emotional intelligence and empathy fatigue serve as a chain mediator between the work environment and nurse presenteeism.
conclusionThe results indicate that the nursing work environment not only directly affects nurse presenteeism but also indirectly influences their presenteeism through emotional intelligence and empathy fatigue. These findings provide theoretical support and guidance for reducing nurse presenteeism rates, emphasizing the importance of optimizing the nursing work environment, enhancing emotional intelligence, and alleviating empathy fatigue in nursing practice.
