A scoping review of the factors affecting work-life balance among nurse educators.
Review in Health SA = SA Gesondheid, 2025. 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
Background: There is a dearth of research on the factors that contribute to a lack of work-life balance (WLB) among nurse educators because most studies focused on nurses or academics in general rather than nurse educators. Thus, more studies are needed to explore the factors that contribute to the lack of WLB among nurse educators. Aim: To explore and investigate the scope and quantity of literature on the factors affecting the WLB among nurse educators. Method: This scoping review followed Arksey and O'Malley's framework, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis to extract and chart sources. Seventeen articles (2014-2024) were analyzed using descriptive analysis, PRISMA-ScR, and thematic analysis. Results: The scoping review identifies factors and strategies impacting WLB among nurse educators, highlighting occupational stress, understaffing, and heavy workloads as key contributors to imbalance. It also explores the role of technology in improving WLB. Conclusion: The scoping review identified factors that contribute to work-life imbalance among nurse educators and proposed strategies to address these issues. Studies suggest that WLB programmes can also lower employee stress levels. Furthermore, the review highlights a significant gap in the literature concerning the factors contributing to the lack of WLB among nurse educators in the sub-Saharan region. Contribution: The findings of this scoping review might assist in the development of strategies that could help nurse educators deal with the factors that contribute to the lack of WLB among nurse educators in nursing education institutions.
