Work addiction in nurses: a cross-sectional correlational study of latent profile analysis and burnout.
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 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
backgroundThe nursing profession is known for its high intensity and high pressure, and burnout is prevalent among nurses.In recent years, work addiction has attracted attention as an emerging occupational psychological problem.However, there is a relative lack of research on nurses' work addiction, especially in the case of its underlying features and its relationship with burnout.Identifying the underlying characteristics of nurses' work addiction is of great significance for formulating targeted interventions to prevent and alleviate nurses' burnout and improve the quality of nursing services.
aimTo identify the distinct profiles of work addiction among clinical nurses, examine the demographic factors associated with profile memberships, and then explore the relationship between latent categories of work addiction and job burnout.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in nurses in Northwest China using convenience sampling from January to March 2024.The clinical nurse completed the online completion of the General Information Questionnaire, the Work Addiction Scale, and the Burnout Scale.Latent profile analysis, analysis of variance, chi-square test, binary logistic regression and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
resultsIn this study, 550 questionnaires were distributed and 524 questionnaires were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.27%.The detection rate of work addiction was 60.50%.The study identified two possible attributes of nurse work addiction: the low addiction group (level 1) and the high addiction group (level 2).These two groups comprised 67.9% and 32.1% respectively of the entire sample of nurses.The work addiction categories of clinical nurses were found to be influenced by nurses' job titles, employment type, Education background and emotional exhaustion. The dimension of emotional exhaustion in burnout explains 18.70% of the variation in work addiction on its own.
conclusionsThere are obvious categorical characteristics of clinical nurses' work addiction, and more than half of clinical nurses' work addiction is at a low level.Identifying demographic" characteristics"and internal and external predictors' of different types' of work addiction can help inform interventions.hospital administrators should actively monitor nurses who exhibit a high degree of work addiction and implement focused interventions to reduce the degree of burnout of nurses and ensure the quality of nursing work.
