Factors Associated With Self-Efficacy in Medical Staff: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Self-efficacy is essential for medical staff to manage challenges and maintain professional commitment. In Iran, high workloads, staff shortages, and limited mental health support may negatively affect self-efficacy and well-being. This study examines key factors influencing self-efficacy among Iranian medical staff. Methods: The survey included 411 Iranian medical staff in July 2024. The sample size was determined based on power analysis to ensure sufficient statistical power for detecting significant associations between self-efficacy and its related factors. Participants completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Social Support Indexes (SSI). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and analytical tests ( Results: The mean (SD) of general self-efficacy of staff was at a moderate level (22.55 ± 5.40). The mean (SD) of PSQI and SSI was 7.67 ± 4.46 and 29.80 ± 13.94, respectively, which indicates poor sleep quality and moderate social support. The mean (SD) of the general health of staff was 51.48 ± 03, which indicates that the general health of workers is at risk. Self-efficacy score was directly related to higher sleep quality (OR: 4.362, CI: 1.481-12.853, Conclusion: This study identified poor sleep quality, moderate self-efficacy, low social support, and general health risks among Iranian medical staff. Given the positive association between self-efficacy and various well-being indicators, targeted interventions-such as mindfulness training, sleep hygiene programs, and social support initiatives-are recommended. Strengthening self-efficacy through institutional support and stress management strategies should be integrated into healthcare policies to promote a more resilient and effective workforce.
