Linking health-related quality of life to labor supply: a study of nurses in Western Iran.

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
backgroundUnderstanding the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and labor supply is essential for developing effective policies to improve nurses' working conditions. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the HRQoL of nurses and explore how HRQoL influences their labor supply.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 577 nurses working in seven public hospitals in Kermanshah city through multistage sampling. Data collection was conducted using a two-part self-administered questionnaire from September 20 to November 15, 2024. The first section aimed to gather information on nurses' labor supply and included 22 items related to sociodemographic, economic, and non-economic factors. The second section comprised the EuroQoL 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) with a five-level scoring system and the EuroQoL visual analog scale (EQ-VAS). A multiple linear regression model was employed to explore the association between HRQoL scores and nurses' labor supply among the study participants.
resultsThe study found that the average weekly working hours for nurses across all medical centers were 47.9 h, while the average at the main hospital was 45.9 h. The mean health-related quality of life (HRQoL) score among the nurses was 0.76 ± 0.23, and the average EQ-VAS score was 74.4 ± 18.9. Our study across the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-5 L indicated that the percentages of nurses reporting no problems were 78.2% for mobility, 97.1% for self-care, 81.3% for usual activities, 47.5% for pain/discomfort, and 37.4% for anxiety/depression. The analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between HRQoL and the labor supply of nurses, indicated by a HRQoL score coefficient of 3.692 (p = 0.046), although this significance is marginally close to the threshold. Additionally, the EQ-VAS score demonstrated a positive association, nearing significance at the 10% level, with a coefficient of 4.095 (p = 0.060). These findings suggest that a higher HRQoL is associated with an increased labor supply among nurses.
conclusionThe study highlights the positive relationship between HRQoL and nurses' labor supply in Iran. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing effective strategies that can help mitigate nursing shortages and improve working conditions for nursing professionals.
