Exploring factors affecting nurses' job satisfaction at a regional hospital in Namibia.
Article in Curationis, 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
backgroundJob satisfaction encapsulates the degree to which employees perceive fulfilment in various facets of their work, including the stability of their position, opportunities for professional development and confidence in their capability to execute tasks successfully. In Namibia, a decline in job satisfaction has been observed with nurses leaving hospitals at alarming rates, yet limited research exists on the factors influencing their job satisfaction. This study was conducted at Rundu Intermediate Hospital between June 2024 and September 2024.
objectivesThe study explored factors affecting job satisfaction among nurses at Rundu Intermediate Hospital in the Kavango East Region, Namibia.
methodA qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used. Fifteen nurses from various departments were selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically.
resultsNurses' job satisfaction is closely linked to personal fulfilment, professional growth and contributions to patient care. Objective factors such as promotion, pay and recognition further shape satisfaction levels. Major challenges include staff shortages, resource constraints and lack of support.
conclusionHospital management should implement strategies that reduce workload, enhance recognition and create opportunities for professional development to improve job satisfaction and retention.Contribution: The study provides context-specific insights into factors influencing nurses' job satisfaction in Namibia and proposes management interventions to strengthen morale, support professional growth and improve the quality-of-patient care.
