"I can't endure it" vs. "I can handle it" - experiencing work fatigue risk for nurses: 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 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
backgroundWork fatigue has become a significant challenge for nursing staff, yet there is a paucity of qualitative research that explores their lived experiences in this context. This study aims to examine clinical nurses' experiences with work fatigue risk and to identify the hindering and facilitating factors contributing to this issue.
methodsIn this study with descriptive phenomenological method, semi-structured interviews with 25 nurses conducted in the meeting room of a hospital from June to August 2024. Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method was used for data analysis.
resultsThree main themes with twelve subthemes were identified. The primary themes included: (1) phases of work fatigue risk experience, (2) hindering factors of work fatigue risk management, and (3) facilitating factors of work fatigue risk management. Nurses faced a combination of facilitators and inhibitors in managing work fatigue. While some nurses demonstrated a positive attitude towards their work, others showed a strong intention to leave the profession.
conclusionsOur findings offer a nuanced understanding of the dynamic stages of nurses' work fatigue experience, highlighting both hindering and facilitating factors that influence the management of work fatigue risk. Nurses encounter multiple challenges in managing work fatigue effectively, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies. These strategies should address structural barriers while fostering individual resilience, ultimately promoting a healthier and more sustainable work environment.
