Emotional exhaustion as a key factor: examining the impact of perceived organizational support on nurses' trust in colleagues.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
aimDrawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this research investigates the association between Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and trust in colleagues among nurses, specifically focusing on the mediating effect of emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, it examines how Learning Goal Orientation (LGO) moderates the associations of POS with both emotional exhaustion and trust in colleagues.
backgroundAfter COVID-19, the healthcare sector has experienced increased emotional exhaustion and an urgent need for trust among nurses. This study explores the interrelationships among POS, emotional exhaustion, and trust in colleagues—an area crucial for team cohesion and patient care quality in high-pressure nursing environments.
methodsThe study utilized a cross-sectional design with 352 nurse participants. Regression analysis and the PROCESS macro (Version 4.10) were employed to test the proposed relationships, including the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and LGO’s moderating effects.
resultsResults indicated a positive link between POS and trust in colleagues that is mediated by reduced emotional exhaustion. Regarding moderation, LGO was found to amplify the connections of POS with both emotional exhaustion and trust in colleagues, particularly among nurses exhibiting high LGO.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the critical role of POS in fostering coworker trust and mitigating emotional exhaustion within the nursing workforce. Enhancing POS can strengthen team dynamics, mitigate the adverse impact of emotional exhaustion, and improve well-being and performance. The results can inform targeted strategies to manage job stress and support nurses with varying levels of LGO. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
