1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe work environment negatively affects the health-related behaviors of nurses due to working in a two-shift system, exposure to professional stress, excessive psycho-physical burden, and limited time for relaxation. Personal resources constitute a significant factor influencing nurses' health-related behaviors supporting their effective professional functioning. The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between health-related behaviors and personal resources and socio-demographic variables in a group of nurses. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: The sample consisted of 1420 nurses working in hospitals. A cross-sectional research model with questionnaire methods was employed. The Health Behavior Inventory, the Resilience Measurement Scale, the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, the Life Orientation Test, and a survey questionnaire to collect socio-demographic data were used. The described tools exhibited satisfactory statistical parameters.

resultsNurses were characterized by an average or slightly increased level of health behaviors and personal resources. Resilience, self-efficacy, optimism, and socio-demographic factors (age, place of residence, relationship status, financial situation, work system, length of service, type of department, BMI) were significant predictors determining the health-related behaviors in nurses.

conclusionsPersonal resources (resilience, self-efficacy, optimism) and selected socio-demographic variables, as significant predictors of health-related behaviors, were found to be diverse in terms of strength and direction of impact. The obtained results highlight the justification for continuing research, which could serve as a foundation for developing educational programs. It is recommended, therefore, that nurses participate in various forms of support related to the development of their personal resources and shaping of their health-related behaviors in the workplace.
