1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCommunity nursing is marked by high stress due to direct patient interactions and varied work environments. Research highlights the significant role of psychological capital (PsyCap), which includes self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience, in managing occupational stress and enhancing job satisfaction among health professionals.

objectiveThis study examines the associations between Psychological Capital, stress management, and job satisfaction among community nurses, exploring their collective impact on professional well-being.

methodsWe employed a cross-sectional, correlational design with a convenience sampling method, recruiting 148 community nurses from Tanta University Educational Hospitals. The Compound Psychological Capital Scale (CPC-12), the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief-COPE), and the Generic Job Satisfaction Scale (GJSS) were used for data collection. Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analyses assessed the relationships and predictive values among the variables.

resultsThe study demonstrated significant positive correlations between PsyCap and job satisfaction (r = .44, p < .001) and between PsyCap and stress management (r = .39, p < .01). Multiple regression analysis showed that PsyCap accounted for 29% of the variance in job satisfaction and 26% in stress management effectiveness. Self-efficacy, hope, and optimism were significant predictors of job satisfaction, with self-efficacy showing the strongest association (β = 0.33, p = .007).

conclusionPsychological Capital is associated with stress management and job satisfaction among community nurses, underscoring its importance in enhancing nurse coping mechanisms, reducing occupational stress, and improving job satisfaction. Practical implications include implementing training programs, resilience workshops, and mentorship initiatives to strengthen Psychological Capital among nurses, thereby improving workforce well-being and retention.
