A predictive study of factors associated with burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress among emergency nurses.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Emergency nurses face high demands that potentially lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress. This study aimed to identify and assess the predictive factors of burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress among Emergency Nurses. A cross-sectional predictive design was employed. Data collected from 290 emergency nurses via Google Forms using convenience sampling from four government hospitals in Hail City, Saudi Arabia. Data collection was conducted between May and June 2024. The findings revealed that socio-demographic factors significantly predict these outcomes, with the regression model explaining 67.9% of the variance. Older age and being female (β = -6.532 for burnout) were consistently associated with lower levels of all three negative outcomes. While nurses with 6-10 years of experience reported lower levels (β = -5.071 for burnout), this benefit didn't extend to the most experienced group. Shift patterns had a strong impact, with the 3 PM - 11 PM shift being most protective (β = -6.377 for burnout), while the 11 PM - 7 AM night shift correlated with significantly higher distress (β = 3.151 for burnout). Counterintuitively, higher education levels (e.g., Master's β = 16.437 for burnout) were linked to increased negative outcomes, and the absence of social support (β = -8.726 for burnout) was surprisingly associated with lower levels of these outcomes. Younger nurses, male, and less experienced emergency nurses who are highly educated are more susceptible to burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress. These phenomena reveal the need for integrated organizational and educational restructuring, emphasizing the intersection of sociodemographic and occupational characteristics. Strikingly, postgraduate-educated nurses display greater compassion fatigue and moral distress which paradoxically suggests that higher training may subject them to more frequent and heightened ethical dilemmas.
