Relational and Organisational Factors Relating to Job Satisfaction Among Critical Care Nurses.
Article in Nursing in critical care, 2026. 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
backgroundThe global nursing shortage poses significant challenges to healthcare systems. In high-stakes environments such as intensive care units (ICUs), job satisfaction is a key determinant of nurse turnover.
aimThis study aimed to identify relational and organisational factors that influence job satisfaction among ICU nurses, as these factors remain underexplored in this context. STUDY
designA cross-sectional, correlational study used survey data collected from ICU nurses across 21 hospitals in Korea. Surveys on situation monitoring, collegial nurse-physician relationships and leader identification were collected as relational factors, and safety climate and workplace safety systems were investigated as organisational factors. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression analyses were employed to investigate the relationship between the factors and job satisfaction.
resultsThis study included 200 ICU nurses. Pearson correlation analyses showed that all relational and organisational factors were significantly positively associated with job satisfaction. In multiple regression analyses adjusting for years of experience, leader identification showed the strongest positive association with job satisfaction (β = 0.328, p < 0.001), followed by safety climate (β = 0.160, p = 0.041), workplace safety systems (β = 0.153, p = 0.023) and collegial nurse-physician relationship (β = 0.139, p = 0.033). Situation monitoring was not significantly associated with job satisfaction (β = 0.044, p = 0.554).
conclusionsJob satisfaction among ICU nurses was significantly associated with both relational and organisational factors. In particular, strong identification with nurse leaders, positive collegial relationships with physicians, a favourable safety climate and the presence of systematic workplace safety procedures were all significant factors. These findings highlight the importance of nurses' identification with their leaders, interprofessional collaboration and a supportive safety environment in enhancing job satisfaction in high-acuity care settings. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Healthcare organisations should promote interprofessional collaboration between nurses and physicians, as well as relationships with nurse leaders and prioritise cultivating a strong safety culture and system for patients and healthcare staff.
