Clinical Nurse Educators' Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intentions: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
backgroundClinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) play a critical role in supporting the recruitment, retention, and professional development of staff nurses in acute care hospital settings. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated global nursing shortages, CNEs are reporting high levels of burnout associated with unpredictable work expectations and nursing workforce challenges. However, the factors that influence job satisfaction and turnover intentions among CNEs are not well understood.
objectiveThe objective of this scoping review is to provide a comprehensive overview of existing literature that focuses on job satisfaction and turnover intentions among CNEs within the acute care setting.
methodsJoanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines will be used for this scoping review. Using a predetermined query of keywords, a comprehensive search will be conducted in SCOPUS, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, citation searching, and gray literature sources to identify studies published between January 2013 and August 2024. This review will consider all literature sources that explore the concept of job satisfaction and turnover intentions of CNEs in the context of acute care settings such as hospitals and short-stay units. Two independent reviewers will screen and select studies, and data extraction will be completed using Covidence (Veritas Health Innovation) systematic review software to gather specific data from each literature source. The results will be synthesized to map out themes within existing literature and to identify areas for further research. Supported by tables and graphs, thematic content analysis will be used to provide an extensive overview of what is known about the topic of interest.
resultsThe online database literature search was initiated in January 2025, with a total of 4306 records identified during the initial search. After removing duplicates, 2354 unique records will be screened based on title and abstract. As of February 2025, title and abstract screening is currently underway, with a subsequent full-text screening and gray literature search to follow. We expect data analysis to be completed in April 2025 and results published in May 2025.
conclusionsRather than evaluating the significance of findings in individual studies, this review will contribute new insights to the existing literature and identify areas for further research.
