Job crafting of nurses with postgraduate degrees in China: a province-wide cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe number of nurses with postgraduate degrees in China is steadily increasing. These individuals often undertake responsibilities beyond basic clinical nursing, and their job crafting abilities play a critical role in advancing the nursing profession. However, research on the job crafting of nurses with postgraduate degrees remains limited.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 356 nurses with postgraduate degrees from 42 hospitals across 17 cities in Hubei Province. The survey utilized a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Change Fatigue Scale, and the Job Crafting Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and single-factor analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression were performed to identify factors associated with job crafting.
resultsThe total job crafting score was 79.49 ± 12.74. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis showed that working years, position, hospital type, health status, income satisfaction, and change fatigue were significantly associated with task, cognitive, and relational crafting, explaining 21.4%, 19.6%, and 22.0% of the variance, respectively.
conclusionPostgraduate nurses in China demonstrated an upper-middle level of job crafting. Context-specific strategies, including fair and reasonable salary systems, empowerment opportunities, and psychological support, may help nursing managers support nurses' professional development, well-being, and proactive job crafting behaviors.
