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

backgroundOncology nurses often face high levels of stress and emotional demands due to the nature of their work with vulnerable patients and families. These challenges can influence their professional quality of life (ProQOL) and intentions to leave the profession. This study explored whether resilience moderates the relationship between ProQOL, including compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, and turnover intention among oncology nurses in Oman.

methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling with 456 nurses from two national cancer centers in Oman. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included the ProQOL Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Brief Nursing Stress Scale, and Turnover Intention Scale. Descriptive statistics summarized the data, and regression analysis was used to examine associations and predictive relationships.

resultsParticipants reported high compassion satisfaction (mean = 43.16 ± 5.56), moderate burnout (mean = 25 ± 4.96), and low to moderate secondary traumatic stress (mean = 24.13 ± 8.26). Resilience levels were moderate (mean = 27.18 ± 6.99), as were stress (mean = 1.53 ± 0.59) and turnover intention (mean = 2.45 ± 0.87). Turnover intention was negatively correlated with compassion satisfaction (r = -.31, p < .01) and resilience (r = -.31, p < .01), and positively correlated with burnout (r = .23, p < .01) and secondary traumatic stress (r = .30, p < .01). While resilience was associated with turnover intention, it did not moderate the relationship between professional quality of life and turnover intention. Key predictors of turnover intention included compassion satisfaction, resilience, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, expatriate status, and educational level.

conclusionsTurnover intention among oncology nurses in Oman is influenced by both individual traits and job-related factors. While resilience plays a role, modifiable factors such as compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress are significant predictors. Addressing these modifiable factors through targeted interventions that enhance compassion satisfaction and reduce burnout, and secondary traumatic stress may help lower turnover intention, strengthen the oncology nursing workforce, and improve the continuity and quality of cancer care.
