Factors Associated with Work Life Balance Among Nurses in Hospitals: A Socio-Ecological Scoping Review.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
Background: A 24-hour shift system and high workload, nurses often struggle to balance work demands and personal life, which can impact their physical and mental well-being, job satisfaction, and the quality of healthcare services provided. Objective: This study aimed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence work-life balance. Methods: This study employed a scoping review based on the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO using the PCC framework, with primary keywords including "work life balance", "nurses", and "hospital". A total of 851 articles were retrieved. After removing 391 duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria, 12 studies were included in the final analysis. Results: Using the socio-ecological model as a guide, this review identifies the various factors that influence work-life balance. These factors range from individual and interpersonal levels to community and organisational levels. These twelve studies were conducted in various countries, including Indonesia, Japan, Uganda, Bangladesh, Turkey, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Jordan, South Korea and Australia. Conclusion: Policies that support work flexibility, well-being enhancement, and optimal social support are necessary to ensure that nurses can maintain a balance between work and personal life, ultimately contributing to the improved quality of healthcare services.
