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

aimTo analyse the concept of psychological burnout among nurses in the context of terminal care.

designConcept analysis.

methodsThe study was conducted according to the eightstep conceptual analysis procedure suggested by Walker and Avant. DATA SOURCES: Articles published in English or Korean between January 2014 and 2024 were reviewed in March 2024. A total of eight search engines were used for the literature review, including PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsycINFO. A total of 19 articles were finally selected for the analysis based on criteria.

resultsThe attributes of psychological burnout among nurses providing terminal care are depletion of energy, emotional numbness, disengagement, sense of powerlessness and emotional repression. Seven antecedents and six consequences of the concept were identified in this study.

conclusionThe result of this study provides a foundation for the development of tailored interventions and further research related to the occurrence of psychological burnout among nurses providing terminal care. Additionally, considering the characteristics of terminal care, we suggest additional studies to confirm the attributes of burnout in this context across various cultural and religious backgrounds. IMPLICATION FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: This study helps clarify the concept of psychological burnout among nurses in terminal care and informs the development of various interventions, educational programmes and related policies. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patients or public contribution.
