Differential associations of occupational stress dimensions with job burnout subscales among nurses.

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: The differential associations through which specific dimensions of occupational stress contribute to distinct components of job burnout among nurses remain insufficiently elucidated, particularly in the post-pandemic context. This study aimed to assess the status of occupational stress and burnout and, crucially, to investigate the specific associations between stress dimensions and burnout components among clinical nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted and 3,654 registered nurses who completed an anonymous online survey. Validated instruments were utilized to assess job burnout and nursing occupational stress across multiple domains. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify occupational stress factors independently associated with each dimension of job burnout. Results: Nurses reported mild-to-moderate overall occupational stress (mean total score = 64.19 ± 21.20; mean item score = 1.83 ± 0.61). However, burnout levels were notable, with scores of 21.33 ± 5.87 for emotional exhaustion (EE), 10.06 ± 3.20 for depersonalization (DP), and 23.13 ± 4.23 for personal accomplishment (PA). All five stress dimensions showed significant positive correlations with EE ( Conclusion: This study identifies a disconnect between moderate stress perception and significant burnout, highlighting heterogeneous associations linking specific stress dimensions to different burnout components. It underscores stress related to management and interpersonal relationships as a central, pervasive factor associated with burnout. Interventions targeting organizational leadership and the relational climate are essential for mitigating burnout and fostering nurse well-being.
