Impact of job satisfaction on quality of life in women at the workplace within the cross-sectional Bern Cohort Study 2014 (BeCS-14).
Observational study in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 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
purposeDespite labor laws, over 614 million workers exceed 48 work hours weekly. Excessive work has been linked to health problems, as has job satisfaction which also affects the individual's quality of life (QoL). This study aims to investigate the impact of job satisfaction on QoL, with a focus on women. Given that occupational stress and job satisfaction have been associated with gynecologic and obstetric outcomes, these findings are of particular relevance to women's health.
methodsThe study utilized data from the Bern Cohort Study 2014, a single-center, cross-sectional, observational trial. During the study, several background parameters were collected, while the IMPULS questionnaire was used to assess job satisfaction, and biofunctional status (BFS) and SF-36 assessed the QoL. The results were analyzed by non-parametric Spearman-Rho test, parametric Pearson correlation, and ANOVA, controlling for age, income, physical activity, sleep, relationship status, and sexual life.
resultsOur analysis depicted some interesting correlations. For women, an association between their emotional well-being and their energy and fatigue was established with aspects of their job satisfaction, such as variety, completeness and social environment. For men, an obvious association of job control was noted for their general health, energy and fatigue, and emotional well-being. Contrarily, for women job control had no influence on SF-36 parameters but was positively correlated with the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (BFS parameters) revealing a rather opposite perception of job control than for men.
conclusionsOur findings support a link between job satisfaction and QoL. Women consider important factors, such as variety, completeness, and social environment, particularly impacting their emotional well-being and energy levels, whereas for men, job control seems to have the greatest significance. For gynecologists and women's health providers, recognizing the role of occupational factors may help integrate workplace exposures into patient history-taking and counseling, especially in the context of reproductive and pregnancy health.
