The effect of nurses' professional quality of life on attitudes toward organ donation: a structural equation modeling approach.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses' professional quality of life and their attitudes toward organ donation. Specifically, the research evaluated the effects of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue on nurses' degree of humanity and moral convictions, fear of medical neglect, and fear of bodily mutilation related to organ donation.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 696 nurses working in public and private hospitals in Ankara, Türkiye. The participants were selected via an online survey using a non-probability sampling approach. Data were collected consisting of three sections: a sociodemographic information form, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), and the Organ Donation Attitude Scale (ODAS). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesized relationships.
resultsAccording to the structural equation modeling results, compassion satisfaction positively influenced humanity and moral conviction (β = 0.203; p < 0.001) and negatively influenced both fear of medical neglect (β=-0.287; p < 0.001) and fear of bodily mutilation (β=-0.167; p < 0.005). Burnout negatively affected humanity and moral conviction (β=-0.387; p < 0.001), positively affected fear of medical neglect (β = 0.280; p < 0.001), and had no significant effect on fear of bodily mutilation (β = 0.047; p > 0.005). Contrary to initial expectations, compassion fatigue showed unexpected associations: while it was hypothesized to negatively relate to humanity and moral conviction, it instead exhibited a positive effect (β = 0.154; p < 0.005), leading to the rejection of the corresponding hypothesis. Compassion fatigue also positively impacted fear of bodily mutilation (β = 0.545; p < 0.001), whereas its hypothesized positive impact on fear of medical neglect was not supported (β=-0.053; p > 0.005).
conclusionsNurses' professional quality of life significantly influences their attitudes toward organ donation. Enhancing compassion satisfaction and reducing burnout and compassion fatigue among nurses can foster positive attitudes and reduce fears regarding organ donation. However, limitations include the cross-sectional design, the single geographic scope, and reliance on self-report measures, which may affect generalizability. Further longitudinal research and intervention studies are recommended to validate these findings and develop effective strategies for improving organ donation attitudes among healthcare professionals.
