Shift Work and Burnout Among Oncology and Hematology Nurses in Palestinian Hospitals.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Background: Burnout is a growing occupational health issue among nurses, particularly those working in emotionally demanding units such as oncology and hematology. In Palestine, limited resources, high workloads, and political instability further exacerbate this challenge. Shift work, a necessity in hospital settings, has been linked to disrupted sleep patterns, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. However, limited evidence exists on its specific impact among Palestinian oncology nurses. Objective: To examine the association between shift work and burnout among oncology/hematology nurses in Palestinian hospitals, and to explore gender-specific differences. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 214 registered nurses working in oncology/hematology units across public, private, and nongovernmental hospitals in the West Bank and Gaza. Data were collected using a validated Arabic version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Health Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Burnout was assessed across three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Statistical analysis included t-tests, ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression. Results: More than half of participants (57.2%) reported moderate levels of burnout. Emotional exhaustion was the most prevalent subscale (69.4%), followed by reduced personal accomplishment (53.3%) and depersonalization (45%). Shift workers demonstrated higher burnout scores, particularly among males. Younger age and fewer years of oncology experience were associated with greater burnout. Gender differences in subscale patterns were observed but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Shift work contributes to increased burnout among Palestinian oncology nurses. Age and experience play moderating roles. Policy reforms are needed to address scheduling practices and improve mental health support for nursing staff.
