Factors Contributing to Work-Life Balance Among Iranian Nurses Working in Clinical Settings: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo investigate work-life balance (WLB) and its contributing factors among Iranian nurses in clinical settings.
designThis multicenter cross-sectional study collected data from 205 nurses using structured questionnaires.
methodsStratified random sampling was employed to select 205 nurses from three teaching hospitals in Tabriz, northwest Iran. Data were collected from March to June 2022. Participants completed a form detailing personal and work-related information, along with Fisher's Work-Life Balance Scale, which includes three subscales: Work Interference with Personal Life (WIPL), Personal Life Interference with Work (PLIW) and Work Personal Life Enhancement (WPLE).
resultsNurses reported higher WIPL scores compared to PLIW scores. Those with master's degrees had significantly lower WIPL scores. Nurses contemplating early retirement were younger and showed higher WIPL and lower WPLE scores. Additionally, nurses' age was positively correlated with WPLE scores. IMPLICATIONS FOR HEALTHCARE AND NURSING: Higher education levels may equip nurses with better skills to manage work demands, while those considering early retirement may experience increased pressures due to staffing shortages. The positive correlation between age and WPLE suggests that older nurses may have developed effective coping mechanisms or benefited from reduced work demands over time.
conclusionIranian nurses experience significant work-life imbalances, with work interfering more with personal life than vice versa. Factors such as education level, early retirement preferences and age influence WLB. However, this study's cross-sectional nature limits causal inferences. Further longitudinal studies are needed to examine the dynamic relationship between work-life factors and WLB in this population. No Patient or Public Contribution.
