Factors Contributing to Emotional Burnout in Newly Registered Nurses in Australia: A Scoping Review.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimAround 15,000 graduate registered nurses enter the Australian workforce each year, forming a critical component of a sustainable and skilled workforce. However, the Australian healthcare system continues to face major challenges in the recruitment and retention of nurses. This review aimed to explore the existing literature on emotional burnout among Australian registered nurses during their first year of practice.
designA scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework to map and synthesise peer-reviewed primary research on emotional burnout in graduate registered nurses.
methodsA comprehensive search of five electronic databases was conducted, including CINAHL, Medline, Emcare, Scopus and PsycINFO, in December 2024. Eligible studies included primary research examining emotional burnout among Australian registered nurses during their first year of practice. Data were charted and reported through a narrative synthesis informed by thematic analysis.
resultsSix studies met the inclusion criteria, spanning 20 years of research. Three main themes emerged: unsupportive workplaces, role stress and workload expectations.
conclusionWithout addressing the challenges that graduate registered nurses face, emotional burnout and attrition from the profession are likely to persist, placing increased pressure on the healthcare workforce. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: As this study was a review of previously published literature, there was no involvement from patients or the public in the design, conduct, reporting or dissemination of research.
