Organising Nurse Work Environments: (Reshaped) Roles of Nursing Teams-A Qualitative Descriptive Study.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. 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
aimTo explore how nursing teams (co)organise their work environment by going beyond caregiving.
designA descriptive qualitative study with a phenomenological approach.
methodsSemi-structured group interviews were conducted in 2022 with nurses and managers from 18 nursing teams in a general hospital located in the Netherlands. In each group interview, 2-3 participants per team took part. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsThe analysis identified four main themes contributing to a more supportive work environment: (1) embracing diversity, (2) stretching nursing roles, (3) raising voices, and (4) aligning nurses and managers. These themes show how nursing teams go beyond caregiving and actively shape and co-organise their work environment.
conclusionTeams that extend their roles create more supportive work environments, enhancing patient care and professional development. These findings contribute to the understanding of organising professionalism in nursing and provide insights for nursing teams striving to improve their work environments. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Nursing teams can use the four themes-as team features-to reflect upon their organising roles and engagement with their work environment. Our findings offer practical insights for nurses with responsibilities in areas such as team development and leadership. They can focus on team diversity, voicing, stretching roles, and organisational alignment, and facilitate their teams to become more assertive. REPORTING
methodThe Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research guideline was followed. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement.
