Determinants of Night-Shift Scheduling Quality for Nurses in Korea: A Multilevel Approach.

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
backgroundNight-shift work burdens nurses and increases the likelihood of medical errors. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the quality of night-shift scheduling.
methodsThis study is framed as a secondary data analysis. Original data are drawn from nurses' roster schedules and questionnaires completed by unit managers. The dataset had a nested structure comprising 1566 nurses within 81 wards. Multilevel analysis was conducted to examine factors influencing the quality of night-shift scheduling at both the individual and organizational levels.
resultsThe majority of participants were female (95.7%, n = 1498). The night-duty RN-to-patient ratio was 8.83 (SD = 2.34). The mean overall quality of night-shift scheduling among participants was 2.90 (SD = 0.35). In Model 2, which included both individual- and organizational-level variables, the only statistically significant individual-level predictor of the quality of night-shift scheduling was gender (β = - 0.88, p = 0.032). At the organizational level, the number of night-shift-only RNs (β = 0.24, p = 0.001), ward type (β = 0.12, p = 0.026), and the night-duty RN-to-patient ratio (β = 0.25, p = 0.002) were significant.
conclusionThe quality of night-shift scheduling was greater for female nurses, Comprehensive Nursing and Care Service (CNCS) wards supported by governmental policy, wards with an RN-to-patient ratio of more than 8 during night shifts, and wards with more night-shift-only RNs. Therefore, these results indicate that the composition and number of nursing staff in a ward contribute to improving the working conditions and environments of nurses' shift work. NURSING IMPLICATIONS: The higher quality of night-shift scheduling observed in CNCS wards and wards run on the basis of the policy of night-shift-only RNs suggests that governmental support positively influences individual nurses' shift work environments. These findings support the need for policy-level interventions to improve the quality of shift work.
