Analysis of risk factors for subjective stress among nurses caring for patients with delirium: a cross-sectional, multicentre survey.

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
backgroundNurses experience subjective stress and challenges in the context of caring for patients with delirium. These stresses can cause psychological damage to nurses and may affect the quality of delirium care. However, few multicentre studies have empirically explored the risk factors for subjective stress among nurses caring for patients with delirium. This study aimed to investigate the status of and risk factors for subjective stress among nurses caring for patients with delirium.
methodsA multicentre, cross-sectional survey was conducted between November and December 2023 among a population-based convenience sample of nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. Demographic data, delirium care-related information, and scores on the Strain of Care for Delirium Index (SCDI) were collected for analysis.
resultsHyperactive/hyperalert behavior had the highest overall mean score (3.18 ± 0.57), and hypoactive behavior had the lowest overall mean score (2.05 ± 0.58). The significant variables from the univariate analysis were included in multiple linear regression analysis for further analysis, with the SCDI total score as the dependent variable. Receiving training regarding delirium, having an intermediate title or above, working in a department with a standardized delirium management process, lower workload and more positive attitudes towards delirium were associated with lower levels of subjective stress among nurses caring for patients with delirium, accounting for 83.5% of the total variance.
conclusionsThis study provides insights into the risk factors for subjective stress among nurses caring for patients with delirium. Our findings suggest that educational programs, supportive measures, and standardized delirium management programs are crucial ways of reducing the burden faced by nurses. Nursing managers need to focus on the stresses experienced by nurses in the context of delirium care, address relevant barriers, and allocate appropriate resources.
