Sustaining the General Practice Nursing Workforce in Australia: Demographics, Job Satisfaction, and Professional Development Challenges.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 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
General practice nurses (GPNs) are essential members of multidisciplinary primary care teams. Understanding their demographics, career trajectories, and professional challenges is crucial for workforce sustainability. This study examines the demographic characteristics, professional experiences, and career intentions of GPNs in Australia, focusing on workforce sustainability, job satisfaction, and professional development. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among GPNs across Australia. Descriptive analysis, factor analysis, and logistic regression examined demographic trends and professional outcomes. The workforce is aging, with many nearing retirement and an underrepresentation of younger and culturally diverse nurses, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Job satisfaction was moderate, influenced by work-life balance, remuneration, and professional development. Barriers to continuing education included financial constraints and limited institutional support. Logistic regression identified employment status, pay, and professional development as key predictors of job satisfaction and retention. Sustaining the GPN workforce requires strategies to retain experienced nurses, attract younger and diverse entrants, and enhance professional development. Stable funding, an expanded scope of practice, and stronger continuing education support are essential for meeting Australia's evolving primary care needs.
