Burnout among Polish midwives: mediating role of satisfaction and dispositional optimism.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
Continuous stress, emotional tension, the pace of work, and constant contact with sick people exposes nurses and midwives to professional burnout. Until now, the level of burnout among nurses has been assessed, but research among midwives with an analysis of sociodemographic determinants, including attitudes toward work and life, is still limited. The aim of the study was to assess factors influencing the level of professional burnout among midwives, taking into account job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and dispositional optimism. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted on a group of 98 midwives. Standardized research tools were used to assess professional burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory, MBI), dispositional optimism (Life Orientation Test, LOT-R), life satisfaction (Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS), and job satisfaction (Job Satisfaction Scale, JSS). Depersonalization was significantly higher in individuals with 21 years or more of work experience than in midwives with 0-5 years of seniority (p = 0.023). Lack of job satisfaction was significantly higher among individuals with low life satisfaction than among those with medium and high levels of life satisfaction (p < 0.001), among pessimists compared with neutral individuals (p < 0.001), among those working in a shift system (p = 0.045), and among individuals with less than 21 h of free time per week (p = 0.013). Independent predictors of lower emotional exhaustion burnout were employment in two workplaces (17.98 points). Independent predictors of lower reduced personal accomplishment were job satisfaction (1.638 points) and life satisfaction (24.385 points). An optimistic outlook on life reduced the overall level of professional burnout (13.449 points). The study found that the overall level of professional burnout among midwives was moderate. Professional burnout was associated with individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors. Higher levels of burnout were observed among midwives with a pessimistic outlook.
